You realize he's been successful every place he's ever coached, right?
He has a history with Andrew Luck.
He has a history playing for the Indianapolis Colts and was well liked in Indy.
He even turned the incompetent dysfunctional 49ers into a dominant Super Bowl team. He's a no-brainer slam dunk head coaching pick for this particular situation.
The only guy I would maybe like better would be Saban, but even then I don't know. Those two are the shoot for the stars guys. After that, Frank Reich has done tremendous work with the Eagles offense. He's also been tremendous in bringing along Carson Wentz who is not as talented as Andrew Luck, but damn they are getting more out of him talent-wise than the careless Colts have gotten with Andrew.
After those guys anyone else except maybe David Shaw would be an eye-roller who cares kind of pick. The guys in Kansas City are almost certainly overrated and I hate seeing front office guys go back to their old teams for head coach and player acquisition moves. Sure if you need someone for a coordinator or a key player position then make the move but if you are just going back to people you are familiar with wholesale it's known to be a character flaw and failed strategy. Look how that worked out for Grigson and his Eagles retreads over and over again.
