I really like the man and what he has done here for sure. However, I don't think his experience so far would translate well to a HC position. For that matter, neither would Whammy's or GA's.

Whammy is awesome, great recruiter, great D coordinator, can't see him as the HC.
GA is great with recruiting, really amazing talent there, and does pretty well coaching up the QB's (if we use connor's progression from last year to this year as evidence)
Elliott is a great coach, can light a fire under players, and has been a major part of our success on the recruiting trail and in the running game.

Having said all that, they are all unproven at the HC spot. I would rather see someone with experience than someone unproven at the top of the food chain. I think all 3 may get some consideration, but in the end, it will be an outside hire.

EDIT: I have no insider info either btw
