Casting a wide net is one way to put it. Wilson is a stubborn guy from most accounts when it comes to how he think the offense should be run (and that he should be running it) and the power he should have. Especially after the team relented and gave Wilson more control to start the season and they started 5-0 (and quickly faded when Wilson didn't change up his looks and schemes and teams caught up to the tape). I am sure candidates have checked in with Schottenhemier to find out that dynamic.
Not many former head coaches want to be held hostage in their OC position by the QB, nor do up and comers looking to make a further name for themselves, want to get walked all over for a couple seasons.
A guy like Gase may be open to those working conditions, because he's already got 2 recent strikes on him with Miami and then the Jets, so anything tied to a chance of success that may raise his profile, even if it means he is a managing figurehead for Wilson, he'll take that.
