Saleh was all the rage as the best coach and best defense blah blah, but it took some seasoning to get him a HC job (assuming he gets one this go around).
I could see someone wanting Staley now, but guessing most would want him in the league a bit longer even if just to know who he would want on his staff. Also you kind of want to see a guy do it more than once.
I am also just an optimist who wants to believe we get to keep him a little longer.
