Bills
Raiders (Mendoza Effect)
Ravens
Steelers (Stability)
Browns & Cardinals (Bad franchises)

Granted, A LOT has to do with Mendoza and Doofus legitimately looking like he’s going to allow Spytek to do his job.
Imagine calling the Cardinals and Browns bad franchises yet somehow leaving us off that list. We aren't a bad franchise? What is the cutoff for you?

Of course it's come to a crawl, all the best coaches won, and everyone wants the best coaches

The Raiders are considered a historically relevant and important NFL Franchise.

But i wouldnt call the Cardinals a bad franchise. I would say they dont have the assets that are desired by top HC candidates

And must likely is. Its down to what ? Four openings and the four teams are likely honing in on two guys: Webb and Kubiak (as a guess). After they decide what they do the last two teams get to decide which way to go.
Still 6 openings. 4 solid offensive candidates. 2 defensive plus McDermott out there.

I agree. I don't think candidates are going to say "good franchise" or "bad franchise". It's more about where they expect the franchise to go from here, and if they have the resources to accomplish it.

Around January 4th. Prior to that I would have put us right there with the Cardinals and Browns. Sure there’s hopium involved here, but with us having the 1st pick, what looks to be a winning QB available to draft, and a very very quiet Doofus Davis letting football people make football decisions, there’s a very good chance my ranking will be justified. …hopefully.

That should satisfy the Rooney rule. We would now be free to make a higher

We are a shit franchise until proven otherwise. The 1 pick & cap space doesn't do anything to disprove that

We’ve been a shit franchise. You can also combine the number of Super Bowls the Browns and Cardinals have won and we’d be up by 3… to zero.

If it wasn’t for those 3 Super Bowls, I don’t think there’d be as many of us here talkin’.

Damn. Guess McDaniel will take a OC role. He's better suited for that anyway and maybe he knows it.
