Either keep the guys and continue being bashed or don't and move forward and start interviewing candidates, but Ross has to make up his mind! Jeez!
 
Nice to see Lovie will not be an option for the Fins.

I sure would love him as a DC. (no pun intended)
Would he take the job? I doubt it, but I just want a decision, you know?
Keep them both or hire a GM and let him pick the coach. Enough with half measures...

As you said, why would he want to be a DC when he's getting hired to be more than that?
 
Yeah, Lovie had problems with the Bears developing an offense, but if you're familiar with the situation it wasn't all on him (he was open-minded to the different approaches the GM wanted to try)...overall he is an excellent coach whose teams often over-achieved. His overall record is 81-63...who's available that will do better than that?

Hell, he took a team to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman at quarterback.
 
Not sure why we wanted her in the first place...

Maybe if he was offered the job earlier in the process, if he wasn't sure about the Bucks intent, who knows?

But my point is, Ross has to make up his mind, other teams are filling up their FO needs...
 
All this means is that Todd Bowles will get more token interviews.

Wasn't Bowles out defensive coordinator at one point? I keep seeing his name pop up and it's killing me because I can't remember if it was with us or another team.

Not only was he our DC, but he was our interim HC after Sparano was fired. Bowles leapfrogged Mike Nolan by going from secondary coach to HC.

He was the DB/Asst HC under Sparano and became Interim when Sparano was fired.

Yep, secondary and assist HC. Actually he was our interim HC after we canned Sparano in 2011.
 
Everybody wants to interview Bowles, I doubt they are serious about hiring him as HC, though
