For example, I have a friend with whom I have worked at four different companies. We work very well together, but neither one of us is afraid to tell the other one they are wrong about something. We always do it respectfully, but we still do it nonetheless.
So perhaps he's brought these coaches in because he knows they absolutely will challenge him, but they will do so in a way that does not create discontent. Because that's the key. You could have an assistant that challenges you and bring out the best, or you can have one that undermines you and ruins the chemistry of the team.
Yeah technically none of us know anything either way. That's the optics though. He's hired a lot of guys he worked with at Miami or UC. Guys with weak resumes who otherwise wouldn't be getting looks for such prestigious positions. Think of it this way. If you had a buddy that gave you a job you really weren't qualified for, would you be more likely to go along with his ideas without question?
Not saying that's exactly how it will be, but that's how it looks when you hire a bunch of unqualified buddies.

Another half-assed reboot with the remaining nucleus might feel better than Zac Taylor building a team out of the douchebags he used to do coke and go to strip clubs with when they were pretend coordinators in Miami. This isn't a poker night a coach Turner's where we get together, smoke cigars and talk about what interns we want to harass. It's the NFL.
No idea what a Lou Anuramo is, but I'm betting he'll sign for a hell of a lot less than any legit DC candidate in the league. Guys that never dreamed thy'd have a shot at that kind of job are like that.
I know your being tongue-in-cheek here, but that was Chris Foerster, who was in Miami after Taylor and his crew.
Just in case anyone is wondering.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
