I'm really shocked to hear that Phelps, Levine, and some others don't seem to understand why Dorsey is interviewing so many guys as "HC" candidates. Guys of diverse ages and very different backgrounds. One even said, "It's almost like Dorsey doesn't know what he's looking for...."
Dorsey is gathering information. He's keeping all his cards close. He may already actually have "his guy", and he may not have even bothered to or have been able to interview his actual "guy" yet. I think he's working beyond just a HC search for this current hire. He loves the process, and he's building dossiers on guys. All the players that Dorsey scouts before draft day, you don't think he may drop a suggestion or two about their tendencies later when chatting up his coaches ?
When you bring someone in for a HC interview and talk football for a few hours, you get the candidates best shot when he is trying to impress. He spills it, to an extent, in most cases. Not all of these guys are going to get hired in this next cycle. They'll go back to their teams, and those staffs could get blown up next year. Dorsey will have scouted all their games in the coming season with "the soundtrack" of these interviews playing in his head.
Seems obvious to me :shrug:
