Pepper has never been a coordinator… but neither had Steve Spagnuolo until Coughlin hired him, and Spags was great.<\/p>\n
Other reported contenders include Dick Jauron, Romeo Crennel, Percy Fewell, Bob Sutton, and George Edwards. Some of them might be okay… but if it was me, I’d go for Pepper. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
