Available Ex-Head Coaches
1. Dennis Green -- You must categorize him as the most qualified of all candidates who has credentials: eight playoff seasons in 10 years with the Minnesota Vikings. He's also shown a keen eye for offensive talent -- he pulled the trigger on Randy Moss and Daunte Culpepper in consecutive seasons when arguments were being made against both players. Negatives? He's had a personal issue or two, but all in all comes highly regarded.
2. Tom Coughlin -- If you're an owner concerned about a loose ship and consistently inconsistent play, Coughlin is the man. Parcells has told friends that Coughlin is the best coach he's ever had on his staff, a mouthful considering Bill Belichick was on that list, too. Coughlin has few peers when it comes to attention to detail. He's a solid player evaluator. He has integrity. He is a taskmaster, whether you consider that good or bad. Parcells and Belichick are taskmasters, too. Does anybody remember that in 1999 that Coughlin's Jaguars finished 15-1 in the regular season and that he took the expansion Jaguars to the AFC title game in just their second season?

The interesting about Green is that he stated before that Gilbride does not know how to use Drew (something like that) . Maybe he can since Drew isn't going anywhere.
