JB in spring/summer mode already...
1. How many interviews did 49er and Patriot assistants have? None to my knowledge.
2. It's not that common for position coaches to get interviewed, let alone hired to be head coaches. It happens, but not that often. And Capers is a 2 time failure as a HC and he's a little old to be starting over with a new team.
3. How do you know some of our assistants haven't been asked and declined the interview? It's unlikely that a position coach would decline a HC interview, but it's not unrealistic. Guys like Moss and Perry, right now, would get interviews only to satisfy the Rooney Rule. It's not unrealistic to think they declined interviews where they knew they weren't serious candidates.

wasn't Roman the O-Cordinator of SF interviewed? Bill B gets most of the Genius talk in NE and he has had failed assistants in the past. I'm just saying, is GB's staff strong enough to win a SB again? We lost Philbin last year.
I don't think Roman was ever interviewed, there was a lot of talk about his connection to Jacksonville. That was all media driven though. Why is Belichick's genius the reason none of his staff interviewed, but when it's McCarthy it has to be that his staff is just subpar?

I think Philbin moving on to Miami was a bigger dent to the offense than anyone expected. I always thought Clements was the guru in that mix, and he might be, but I think Philbin did all the heavy lifting.

Green Bay assistants don't seem to be getting any love. One interview for Clements. We tend to think yes! we didn't lose anyone. Maybe, they aren't that good and no one wants them.
Maybe the Packers were asked and said no and we didn't hear about it. They can block anyone from interviewing except for a HC gig. Other than Clements is anyone on the Packers staff ready for a HC job? I'd say no... and Dom don't count since he has been there done that. Only Jerry Jones would hire an aging football guy as his HC.
@AdamSchefter: Bruce Arians has accepted four-year deal, with a team option for a fifth year, as head coach with Arizona Cardinals.
That does it for all the HC vacancies.

I'm told Ray Horton is out as Cardinals defensive coordinator and will be replaced by Todd Bowles. Source who knows. Bad vibes all around.

Sounds likes a Bates-type situation there.
Seems like all the remaining teams were waiting for Chip Kelly to make up his mind. Once he did the rest fell into place rather quickly. I still can't help but think something will go down in Dallas yet. If JJ starts forcing assistants on Garrett he just may walk. JJ gets rid of him but doesn't have to fire him.
The Chiefs have hired former Packers CB Al Harris, now 38, as a defensive assistant/secondary coach. Entry-level coaching job.

If Jones gets rid of Garrett, he gets rid of his YES man!
