I'm actually not sure there's really many guys available I would want as DC that I would also be okay with being my HC. For instance Martindale is another name mentioned and I wouldn't want him as HC, and obviously not the two guys we interviewed first. Al Golden was a college HC back in 2010 and was .500 while going 0-3 in bowl games and has never been above a LB Coach in the NFL.
Besides I don't like the idea of preemptively poisoning the well by either making it known, inferring, or even not denying that the DC I hire could be HC this year or next. Doesn't seem like a healthy way to have him respect and work under Zac's leadership, like replacing a broken chair leg with a half-broken chair leg, you're kind of setting the chair up to just break again, so you either need to fully fix it or just get a new chair. Being half-in on a HC is how you get that weird unhealthy McCarthy/Cowboys situation that has finally ended after seemingly being on the chopping block for 4 straight years.
All great points. I know who you wanted for HC and the Pats snatched him up. Vrabel was never really in the cards for us cause he would
of had to of been DC first, but he would of been ideal to toughen our asses up to match the rest of the AFC North.
