I wonder if Fangio would have considered it - I heard he rejected HC interviews because he wanted to work on the Bears. I do kind of get the thinking of Ross hoping for a more long term solution, though money-wise, any contract would be invalidated if the coach left for another job (promotion) yes?
Yeah, but I think unless you think the team is a DC away from making noise it's hard to justify a one year stop gap. You dont have time to build his system, and if your talent does match the system do you hire someone who runs that same system to replace him? What if they aren't the best choice?
