I feel ya TCPF...Its frustrating when you can't find what you used to have.
But at the end of the day, I'm not sure you are right about people avoiding us.
JJ took this job. He was one of the top coaches in the league...ever.
Wannstedt jumped at it.
So did Saban, and Cameron and even Bill Parcells.
No doubt we made some bad choices since Shula retired, but I don't think we had any problems attracting top talent until the last year, and that has far more to do with our lack of a QB than anything else.

I love pennington as a coach. I'd hire him in a minute. I think he has great HC potential someday.
But there are other guys out there that fit that description as well.
Fisher is pretty good. He's a know commodity, even if he's not an elite guy. If he passes, you just need to go find an assistant somewhere with HC qualities and then get him a QB so he can succeed.
Don Shula was a hell of a coach. But he had the benefit of THREE immortal QB's running his teams throughout his career.
There are a lot of good coaches who never got the chance to be great because they never had a QB.
Its tough, but you need them both as a franchise to be successful.
