Jack Del Rio will be either a defensive coordinator or he’ll go to the broadcast booth or end up on one of those sports analysis shows.  If Marvin Lewis wants a shutdown, physical defense, he’ll call Jack immediately.

Unless he or his agent have told you this, it is speculation.  We only know of contact with a candidate if it is reported.  No report does not equal no contact.  For example, the Raiders had basically agreed to terms with Gruden before anyone ever reported they had any interest in him.  The Buccaneers were the only team known to have reached out to him at that point.  Hell, the Raiders completed their compliance with the Rooney Rule without anyone knowing, meaning they had interviewed minority candidates.
