I like your suggestions of those NFL assistants, but one would have to look deeper at just how many responsibilities these guys have. To have any semblance of a chance to succeed, you would have to be one helluva multi tasker, unless someone splinks Mikey in the head with a shovel, and he regains consciousness as a different man that is.
That's honestly the only reason I am intrigued by the possibilities of a really good college coach that doesn't run gimmicky offenses (if there are any of those left around). These guys would have a leg up on knowledge of top draft prospects and late round steals. I'm pretty sure Franklin DOES run the read option, but I do like his ability to work with what he's got and make it successful. His ability to right a ship quickly interests me.
I feel ya, and yes our HC does have extra responsibilities. That said, Marv himself was just a coordinator with the Ravens and he has managed. He's just choked in big moments.
LaFleur taking the 32nd ranked scoring offense and making them #1 was quite a quick and drastic turnaround. He just seems like a brilliant young offensive mind and everything he's touched has turned to gold. I can't hate on Franklin though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
