But I will say that objectively looking at what he has said about how he is conducting his search, leaving no stone unturned, etc. sounds an awful lot like the drivel we used to hear from Angelo on his projects. I mean, Emery's job is to look as broadly as possible for a new HC, so I have a hard time giving him bonus points and patting him on the back for his approach to the search. So far I still see and hear McCoy's name being thrown around as the supposedly logical fit and best guy for the job. I'm just not sold on that, and the heavy pursuit of him by multiple teams as the so called next offensive genius sounds exactly like the hype that surrounded Josh McDaniels before he turned into the worst HC hire and disaster in recent history by any team.

I'd like to see them go out and get someone who is equipped to compete in what the NFL has become. I agree with something Dan Bernstein said the other day, "Don't get an old offense, get the next offense"; meaning that someone from the new school would be ideal. I just don't expect to see these older coaches having a lot of success. Again, probably in the minority but that's my two cents.

My 2nd choice would be Bruce Arians. Impressive job w/ Andrew Luck, 9-3 as an interim coach. I just want the next coach to have an offensive background as I think it would really help Cutler out.
