Vance Joseph is not a bad pick either and if I remember correctly has worked with Zimmer in the past.(Could be a possible DC candidate depending on what happens in Minnesota.) Of course any coach is a gamble, not exclusively Brady, and while some people might see it as a pipe dream it makes sense. Brady has a lot more stops than Zac. His abilities as an OC aside he has worked with a large group of successful coaches including Sean Peyton and may be better developed as a HC.
Once again who is available next offseason at both in FA? I do not think either idea is bad. Also FA may be willing to hand out some big contracts depending on a coaching change and what Burrow has to say.

From PFN:

Top available 2022 free-agent offensive line players

1) Quenton Nelson, G, Indianapolis Colts*
2) Brandon Scherff, G, Washington Football Team
3) Orlando Brown Jr., T, Baltimore Ravens
4) Ryan Ramczyk, T, New Orleans Saints
5) Isaiah Wynn, T, New England Patriots*
6) Duane Brown, T, Seattle Seahawks
7) Terron Armstead, T, New Orleans Saints
8) Frank Ragnow, C, Detroit Lions*
9) Wyatt Teller, G, Cleveland Browns
10) Riley Reiff, T, Cincinnati Bengals

There is much to be excited about for free-agency options on the offensive line in 2022. While Quenton Nelson tops the list, he is eligible for a fifth-year option, which the Colts will almost certainly exercise if they do not get a long-term extension done.

That leaves Scherff as the top offensive lineman available after playing on his second franchise tag in 2021. The cost of a third franchise tag will be astronomical. Therefore, Washington should get a deal done, or Scherff will be a top-rated free agent for many teams next offseason.

The combination of Orlando Brown and Ryan Ramczyk is fascinating. Both play excellent football but have the knock of being right tackles currently. Additionally, both will be looking to convince teams next offseason that they can slide in seamlessly as a left tackle. Will one of them make a perfect fit in Miami as a right tackle protecting the blindside for Tua Tagovailoa?

Isaiah Wynn is the big unknown here. He has played well in bursts but has been injured too often. The Patriots may pick up his fifth-year option, but he will be an intriguing free agent next offseason if they don’t. A strong 2021 season might see him garner a plethora of suitors.

Duane Brown, Terron Armstead, Frank Ragnow, Wyatt Teller, and Riley Reiff round out what may be a deep group of offensive linemen next offseason.
