Fwiw, Sumlin has no NFL experience. O'Brien is the most intriguing to me and he did interview with the Eagles and Browns last year before Penn State sweetened his deal. I wonder if that came with a hefty buyout provision?
Here's a scenario that crossed my mind: McNair goes with a "proven winner" who has connections with the front office and whose offense is basically already in place -- Mike Shanahan. And he gives Snyder draft choice compensation to let Shanahan out of his contract, even though he may be about to be fired and even though he has had one winning season in his last six.
That headhunting firm is the same one Texas used in its athletic director search and A&M is using in its president search.
