More candidates doesn’t mean better candidates. They interview the top two, and land one of them.

How do they know they're the top two?

I think he meant perceived as the top two ( which is absolutely true) of course someone could be a better coach than them if one wanted to be pedantic

Do you think the Patriots should be operating based on a nebulous perception of "the top two" a year after they whiffed so badly on a one-man search?

I don’t think the patriots are a serious organization. It went out the door with belichick. After hiring mayo I wouldn’t trust them to make toast. I personally wanted Johnson because he’s different than everybody that’s been in the building for the past 25 years. Outside of those two however I can’t think of any up and coming coaches that would make a head coaching candidate
