Not that Trotter isn't legit here, but the problem with him priming the pump, so to speak, at NFLN, was asking the same questions to the same people over and over (you'll get a different variety of responses to be sure, from none to same to GTFO--he got all three). For instance, and it's almost blasphemous to go against the fraternity, but why the hell is Peter King all the sudden playing up X defensive coordinator two days before the Super Bowl and the next day he's a head coach? After all, are we journalists or just social climbers?

At least there was momentum for Flores (connection with Ossenfort) to be the guy, give them that much.

He sounds like a CJ or Horton type with less experience. At least he's been coaching but was he an assistant to the position coaches or the actual position coach?

NFL teams also use "consultants" as part of their searches for GM and coach. And by consultants, NFL teams hire one of Charlie Casserly, Ernie Accorsi, Bill Polian or Ron Wolf to "recommend" candidates for them and it's usually one of their former underlings.
