I like # 2 & 3 on this list. There are more possibilities out there.
Not buying the Harbaugh rumor.
What’s your take?

I am intrigued by both Callahan and O’Connell but admittedly don’t know enough about either one. I am disinterested in both Caldwell and Frazier. Both would be “safe” hires, along the lines of Fox I suppose, but also very boring and not needle moving. This organization needs a different approach right now I think. My top choice remains Hackett, and #2 might be Pederson with the right OC. -
That would be my preference as well, and by a wide margin. Another problem with defensive minded head coaches is that if your OC does well he gets poached, so you’re always facing that challenge. Not something the Broncos have had to worry about with Joseph or Fangio!Comment

I can’t believe what Harbaugh is getting paid at Michigan. He’s WAY underpaid. I think this “rumor” is all about addressing that.Comment

I’d shut the board down and become a cricket fan if we hired Caldwell.Comment

Welcome home, Roh.
I keep thinking about Shanny angles. But he's pretty old to take on a new HC gig at this point.Comment

Nathaniel Hackett should be at the top of the list. I also like Todd Bowles. I never got the impression that he got a fair shake at NYJ.Comment

With the rules making it easier every year for offenses I want a coach that’s offensive minded that can scheme guys open. I also want a coach that coaches to the players strengths. Not forcing their coaching style onto the players. IE…ramming square pegs into round holes.Comment

The top 10 offenses this year are: TB, Dallas, KC, Chargers, Bills, Rams, Ravens, Cards, SF, and Cinci. All playoff teams, with just Ravens out of the picture because of their injuries.
On the opposite, the top 10 defenses: Bills, Panthers, NE, SF, Bears, Browns, Philly, NO, Broncos, Cards. Only 5 of 10 are playoff teams, which 3 of those 5 also have offenses in the top 10.
It’s vastly harder to build a winning team around a defense, especially when you have a crappy offense.Comment

It's hard to win without a QB.
There have been a handful of coaches in the history of the NFL that could win without a QB.
Joe Gibbs. and a handful of guys who could win in the regular season, and not championships. That's pretty much it.
To demonstrate the point even further....14 teams make the playoffs now. Of the top 14 rated QBs by QBR (not a perfect stat, but it's reasonable) ...2 are giong to miss the playoffs. 14th ranked Russel Wilson, and one of Derek Carr or Justin Herbert. That's it. Outside the top 14, Dak Prescott (17th) and Jalen Hurts (20th) are in.
NONE of the bottom 12 in the NFL are in. and just 2 of the bottom 18 are.
Coaching around a crap QB is hard.
Fangio would probalby be a decent enough HC if Denver had a better Qb...granted, some of that is Fangios fault for wanting Joe Flacco, and then wanting Teddy.
Won't matter much who your coach is IF you don't find a QB.Comment

4 years ago, 3 of the final 4 QB's were backups and one of them won the SB against the best Qb in the league. Oh, and how about Ben Roeth in SB XL who had a 22.6 QB rating, or us with Peyton in 2015. I could comment on a lot of Qb's who need to thank their D's for a lot of their successes. Ben, Eli whose team beat the best QB twice.....due to defense. I'm not saying a team doesn't need a QB who can run the offense but teams that build solely around the offense usually don't meet success, like the Chiefs last year and till mid season this year.Comment
