TAMPA, Fla. — Let’s face it, NFL owners are an unimaginative group when it comes to hiring head coaches.
It’s as if they are stuck at a high school dance of perpetual infatuation. It’s the same teams chasing the same profile with the same desperate hopes and fantasies.
They hire retreads, they promote proteges and occasionally spend gobs of money on college coaches. More than anything, however, they love to hire coordinators they see on Super Bowl sidelines.
