I could support Austin as a candidate for DC.  Disciplinarian personality is most definitely a plus, as we have seen how relaxed things have become under the laid back style of Paul Guenther.  Does anyone agree with me that the playoff meltdown versus Pittsburgh would not have occurred under Zimmer's watch?

The rest of the list has some interesting names.  Obviously Del Rio and Spagnoula are the well known personalities.  However, if there is any truth to the notion of transitioning to a 3-4 scheme, I would think that Vic Fangio would move to the top of the list.  His defenses in SF were some serious wrecking crews.
