Del Rio has that big dog personality with a healthy ego to with it. As a young, first time head coach, you gotta have a gouy who buys into to what you're selling...someone who shares your vision and approach. He may have not been comfortable with the idea of Del Rio looking over his shoulder or second guessing him.
Of course, that's all just conjecture on my part, but I think that it had to play a part. When you look at McVay, he was able to go out and get a guy like Wade Phillips, who had a personality that meshed very well with his...which they've both talked about a few times.
As for Anarumo - who I don't know a lot about, if he does get the job, I sure as hell he makes the most out of his shot.
It's also very possible Jack Del Rio is too much old school like Marvin. Marvin would never adapt or make adjustments. Too rigid? Remember the press conferences. Jack and Marvin worked together many years ago. If they are similar, I am thrilled Zac didn't hire him.
