I'll keep this short and sweet. Out of all the candidates presented so far, who would you hire to be the next head coach if you were Pat Bowlen? Hopefully all of us already know a little about all the candidates, and fanposts like Boydy's and Guru's are good resources for a little research. I'm just going to put up the poll.

Before you vote, though, keep a few things in mind.

• Money. We already owe Shanny $20 million over the next three years, and a big name head coach (cough Bill Cowher cough) would set us back quite significantly, possibly forcing Pat Bowlen to skimp on other things.
• Age. Raheem Morris is a talented up-and-comer, but then again he's younger than half the players. In the same light, guys like Cowher or Spagnuolo aren't going to stick around forever.
• Past experience. This one is obvious. Look at what the guy did in his last job with the players he had there. Did he sign those players or did he make the best of someone else's crop? Also, did he implement his scheme or did he take over someone else's?

Now get out there and VOTE!! It's the patriotic thing to do, after all.
