I like MM quite a bit. He's got the drama-repelling demeanor I like, consistently produces effective game plans, and is somehow still an underrated play caller.
That said I went with John Harbaugh. I'm simply convinced its better to have a defensive guru for a HC. Competitive edge for an NFL offense seems like mostly a function of quarterback's play. There is no such positional hegemon on the defensive side of the ball and thus any advantages or innovations a coach can provide just seem more significant. The QB + defensive guru coach recipe just works.
