ESPN’s Peter Schrager suggested every NFL team looking for a new head coach should call Indiana’s Curt Cignetti . Upon hearing Rich Eisen’s idea that the Raiders should give Cignetti a call, since they have the No. 1 pick and could draft QB Fernando Mendoza , Schrager loved the idea.

But Las Vegas can’t be the only team interested, right? Well, it’s just speculation at this point, but Schrager suggested teams better get on the phone.

“There’s one major flaw in this whole thing, and it’s a big one. It shouldn’t just be the Raiders,” Schrager said on Get Up . “It should be every team with an opening. This is Tom Coughlin and Rex Ryan combined. He’s got the discipline and they don’t make mistakes, and he’s also got the bluster and that bravado that Rex had. He’s a dream. The buyout would be enormous. But I’m not going to dismiss this idea.”

As far as what Eisen said, he would make the pitch to Cignetti if he were the Raiders. He is 25-2 in two years at Indiana and is now two wins away from winning a national title with the Hoosiers.
