Patriots trivia question - Before the Belichick era

[PATRIOT64]

Before Belichick was hired by Kraft and put his stamp on this team,there were primarily 7 other candidates for the vacant head coaching job here in New England in early year of 2000

Besides BB there were 7 other guys who were going to be interviewed for the job,Thank heavens none of them got hired and we picked the right guy.

The question is 'Name At Least 4 Of The 7 Guys Who Were Interviewed Or Were Going To Be Interviewed For The Vacant Position Prior To The Hiring Of Belichick and shortly after the firing of Pete Carroll after the 1999 8-8 season?'.

Hint: 4 of them currently have Head Coaching jobs

PLEASE NO 'GOOGLE'ING LOOKING FOR CLUES,TRY TO ANSWER WITHOUT CHEATING - THANKS

I will submit all 7 names tomorrow evening for those who are curious
