BTW, even after the Art debacle atleast Jim Mora jr has expressed interest in the Job. As long as one established coach is interested in the job, I will say it's a myth that nobody is interested in the job. Won't you agree ?

Candidates have shown interest, but they have not taken the job. Payton - it turns out - would have been a great choice. Al recognized his potential, because he still has the eye for talent. But he couldn't get him on board. Did Payton (or Wisenhunt, Petrino, etc) turn down the job or was he never offered the job? It may not matter.
I can just imagine the interview.
Al Davis: So, what do you think about the vertical offense?
Candidate: I think it's a relic from the 1960s.
AD: Uh...right then. We'll get back to you.
