Here is my prediction: Sherm Lewis, HC. The facts:
1) Lewis has been a very successful offensive coordinator. He has 2 rings as a WR coach for Bill Walsh, and a SB ring as the OC for the Packers under Holmgren. Why come out and do that again?
2) Sherm was happily retired, calling bingo or whatever the latest media sensationalistic activity is they're saying he was doing - shuffleboard maybe?
3) Lewis, for all his accolades, has never been a HC in the NFL, but was the HC at Michigan for 10 years or so I believe.
Why would a happily retired, offensive genius, with 3 SB rings come out of retirement? I can think of two reasons - either he's just running out of money and Thedanny backed up a dumptruck to his house, or Thedanny promised that he would have an opportunity to become the HC in 2010.
Greg Blache has had one foot out the door for a couple years now - Snyder had to beg him to coach another couple years. After this year, I can't see him coming back. There has been some speculation about him being the interim HC, but I doubt he stays on for next year, and that wouldn't fit Thedanny's M-O anyway.
Final point - who else will come here? Shanny has turned down the job, and I can't imagine Cowher would come into this situation. Gruden? Maybe...I just don't see it though. There are other SB winning coaches out there, but none of them are any bigger of a splash than Sherman Lewis.
I guess we will see...
