If you were the GM of one of these teams looking for a HeadCoach, & you have a few interviews lined up, what are you looking for? What criteria are you looking for in the best candidate?

^^^^I like to see a HC who is for lack of a better term arrogant on his side of the ball (where he came from), humble enough to turn over the other side to somebody expert in that side and then only interferes at key moments and if anything gives more draft picks/FA's to the opposite side of the ball. Jimmy Johnson in the modern era would be a classic example.
My favorite HC is Tom Landry but you are rarely as in almost if not never going to get a guy so innovative on both sides of the ball and he meets AT's leader of men requirement but in a way which also was almost if not unique.
I agree with this, 100% however, when looking at younger never been HC before candidates, you have to understand their circle is limited.To me, the coordinators that the HC is going to bring in are almost as important as the HC himself.

Like you, I'm going to be looking for success at other levels. I'm not necessarily looking for someone who was a HC, but I would like to see a young coach go from one level to the next. I'd like to see someone who was..... say a DB coach, then a LB coach, then an OL coach, or something along those lines, then a DC or Assistant DC.
That way, I know I've got someone who has been exposed to several areas of a football team. I'd also like to know they were successful in teaching & developing players at different levels.
Then I want to know that they were able to unite diverse groups of people, and was successful getting those different groups to work together.
I'm going to want to know what their reputation is around the league, how do they work with other coaches, is he respected by his peers, especially those who have had to work against him.....
I'm going to want someone who gets out & works outside his duties.... coaching in the East/West game, senior bowl, works with kids at the combine, etc...
I want someone who believes he's doing something important, not just here to collect a paycheck. I want someone who strives to be the best & everything he's done to this point demonstrates that. I want a guy who has made mistakes & learned from them.
Like Infantrycak said, I want an innovator & a leader of men.
And this surgery happens EVERY year...??It's hard to with kids at the combine when you're having sleep apnea surgery the week of the combine.
