Plus ZT and this guy knew each other, so it's not like the interview process needs to involve them getting to know one another.

I think the only way of not having the perception of settling would have been if Del Rio would have been hired.
Let's face it, the fans wanted certain candidates and the Bengals didn't hire one of those candidates.
If this DC fails, I don't see him sticking around long because he wasn't even in the top 3 choices for ZT. Look for a better replacement next year, no big deal.
And I think this org will give ZT 3 years to try to get back to the playoffs, if anything to try to win something with the current core.
