I think a lot of this is on the FO.  If you're taking over a bottom basement defense, you're going to want a say in the draft and the ability to spend in FA.  History would tell you that's a long shot.  

Even if it's a decent promotion and career move, who's going to leave their cushy SEC job with a $65M football facility for an organization that gives their new HC this office chair?  

 

Lot of people laughed at that statement previously, but if a company has a reputation for being cheap, crap like this goes a long way to reinforce that perception.  You're not going to convince top tier talent to make a lateral move by presenting yourself like a 2nd tier organization.  You can overpay to bring someone into a shitty situation with menial resources and a backwater corporate culture of nepotism over success, but that would require you to SPEND AND NOT BE CHEAP *****.

Damn straight.  Although I have a feeling the 'not a good fit' line from ZT was a cover for the FO saying 'too much mulla.'  

Literally only hope we have now is ZT finding a super green DC who just so happens to be a defensive wiz kid.  Unfortunately its going to be really tough for that person to do the heavy lifting of day to day coaching and managing this D's attitude.  

This offense better be damn good on every level.
