The division finals got me thinking (more than usual) about possible candidates to be our head coach in 2020. I got to thinking, who would be on a "long list" of potential coaches if Bill Manning and Pinball Clemons wanted to turn over every stone. Without a ton of effort, I came up with no fewer than 30 names I think would be worth putting on such a list. Some of them are not really viable for one reason or another, but a lot of them could conceivably be interested in and qualified for the job. And no doubt I have forgotten some obvious (and maybe some not-so-obvious) contenders.
