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.
Honestly, I thought Taylor said he wanted guys who would challenge each other's ideas, but in a respectful way. I don't see JDR as a disrespectful ego maniac, but maybe I'm wrong. I just know I wanted some guys who may challenge Taylor, and all I see are likely cronies that Taylor previously worked with and unlikely to really challenge him.
I'm not going to be negative about Taylor and his staff for the next 5 months, but I'm just not feeling another Dolphins guy with a weak resume. Hard to get excited by that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
