Mike McCarthy

The 56-year-old McCarthy is easily the most experienced and successful head coaching candidate currently available, and he’s made it abundantly clear that he’s looking to get back into football and has been grinding away watching film every single day.

In addition to his 125-77-2 career record, McCarthy took the Green Bay Packers to the playoffs nine times and won a Super Bowl. Oh, and did we mention he’s also tremendous when it comes developing quarterbacks?

Some believe he should have won more with Aaron Rodgers, but we’ll see in time if that’s more on Rodgers than McCarthy. The bottom line is that Daniel Jones would be in great hands with McCarthy, which has to be consideration No. 1 when finding the next coach.
