I'd be happy for him. San Fran screwed up when they chose Erickson over him, even though they really liked TC. (For that matter, we screwed up too.)

I don't think anybody has "screwed up" by not choosing him as their head coach. The guy simply isn't head coach material. He's struggling enough with his own specialty, defense. The guy was canned by Herm and the Jets and the Vikings defense wasn't a threat until the end of the season.

Jets were soooo happy to get rid of him and there defense was so spectacular this year. They were what 28th in defense. Getting rid of Cottrell really helped their cause!

I think he and Herm just had different philosophies, so they never really put together a coherent defense. It's taken him a little time with the Vikes, but he's got that D playing really well now.

 

Of course there's no way to know if he'll be a good HC. (By the same token it's pretty silly to be so sure that he "simply isn't head coach material.") But players like him, he makes good in-game adjustments, and he develops young players very well. I think he's got a great shot to be an excellent HC. We'll see.
