Which team made the best head coaching hire this offseason?

A bit bias but I’ll say McDaniels #1 for the crazy ceiling alone. 
 

Tier 1:

1) Josh McDaniels - Raiders

2) Brian Daboll - Giants

3) Nathaniel Hackett - Broncos 

Swap Daboll and Hackett if Rodgers goes to the Broncos. That’s a great combination. 
 

Tier 2: 

4) Mike McDaniel - Dolphins

5) Kevin O’Connell - Vikings

Tier 3:

6) Matt Eberflus - Bears

7) Doug Pederson - Jaguars

8 ) Dennis Allen - Saints

Tier 4:

9) Lovie Smith - Texans

Pedersen best hire, by quite a bit IMO.

A lot of the other guys have the potential to be Super Bowl winning coaches. Pedersen has literally done it (in his second year).

After the Urban fiasco, bringing in a guy with that kind of resume and offensive mindset is exactly what Jacksonville needed. Even if he doesn't get them to a title, he's going to turn that franchise into a formidable contender with a 6–8 win floor, IMO. 

People will complain about his faults as a coach during his tenure in Philly and pretend like every single coach doesn't receive similar criticisms, but he's my vote for sure.

I actually don’t like McDaniels to the Raiders at all, and I would be willing to bet the majority of Raiders fans will be over him by the end of next season.

You can say that every year though, pretty rare when guys like Shanahan get hired. 

Speak for yourself. Last year I liked the Saleh hire. Stefanski the year prior. Flores/Fangio before that. Vrabel/Reich. It goes on.

I thought Brian Daboll was the best head coaching candidate available last year and I still think he was the best this year, so I'm going with him. I've also been a fan of Eberflus for a while and I think the Pederson hire is a win for Jacksonville. Hackett was good as well. And I do love the Mike McDaniel hire. I'm not sure if I'd call him a 'good' hire like the others, but I'm super intrigued to see how he works out and I could definitely see him ultimately being the best of the bunch. He could just as easily fail miserably though.

The rest I'm uninspired by.

All subjective. I loved the Stefanski, Flores, Vrabel, and Reich hirings but hated the Saleh and Fangio hirings. Saleh was never a good x’s and o’s guy like DeMeco Ryan is now. 
 

Plus, that’s still not a lot of coaches. There’s about 8 openings every year and what you have listed is you like one hiring about every year.

Lol, of course it’s subjective. I said I didn’t love any of the hires this year. What about that statement isn’t subjective? Am I required to love x number of coach hires per season?
