It looks like MIA, NYJ, and TB are all looking to interview Kris Richard for a head coaching job... You might have to replace Garrett with him if you want to keep him.

Yep, and some sentiment among beat guys is that he could very well impress a team enough to get the hire. I see it more as respecting his overall work, but he'd have to really "wow" a team in the interview process I'd think for someone to commit to what would be a rather large jump for a coach.

He's been a DC before, so it was surprising to me that the Cowboys were able to hire him as the DB coach and quickly named him passing game coordinator. That's why I think there is a bigger picture, under the table type deal with Richard to be the DC next season with a Marinelli retirement. Just a gut feel as Marinelli will be 70 by next season.

I'd peg the same type of agreement to Will McClay, as that's another guy I thought would see some serious GM interest (he has had some, but turned down interviews).

Edit: would LOVE to see both back, but understand the nature of the business and would root for their success elsewhere (outside of the division, of course)
