he was a finalist for Tampa because the team wanted a guy that had experience with younger players, thus the reason why their top 2 were Chip Kelly and Greg Schiano. Kelly actually agreed to coach the Bucs, but backed out at the last second.
But as Nubs said, if people like Gailey or Mularkey get fired those are the type of jobs he'd get serious consideration from. And honestly, I'll laugh at any team that hires Sherman as a HC. Not because of his playcalling here, but he has been a mediocre HC in both college and the pros. Some of his issues in Green Bay were because he was the GM there as well.
Now people may say he had a good record in Green Bay, which he did, but the team under performed in the playoffs. He went 12-4 and lost to Mike Vick in Green Bay; first time the Packers had lost a home playoff game ever.
And while I do think Sherman's playcalling will improve, if he somehow gets a gig as a head coach, I don't think it would set us back that much if at all. Only time I felt losing a coordinator killed us was when Linehan left to coach the Rams.
