Look there is some merit to the young offensive minded coaches and there is some merit to the idea that coaches with long tenures and experience eventually get rewarded with head coaching gigs. However, it would be weird to ignore anyone who is in the inbetween range. As far as I've read, teams usually prioritize fit. That sounds like the worst most cop out word and it kind of is, but it kind of isn't. Fit is actually important because it's variable and not static. Every team has a different crew, vision, philosophy. That's why timing is so important, who is out there at the time they're needed who can fit a team's vision.
All that being said, Wink is good at what he does, works hard, and is liked by players and coaches. That description probably describes quite a number of people though. He'll get interviews and if he's the right fit for a team, they'll hire him. If not, they won't. He's certainly not guaranteed anything, but all indications say he's being looked at.
