I also have no reason to believe he couldn't handle it. He's probably my favorite coach on staff. I'm sure he's held in high regard amongst he players. Sometimes that's all it takes.

He is very good at his job.  I could see him translating into a good HC, as blocking and tackling, i.e. the fundamentals of football, are the heart and soul of Special Teams.  Now, the intricacies of designing a specific game plan to attack a specific defense, might not be outside of his capabilities.  However, to take over on day's notice seems to be a bit of a reach.
