He was the DC in Denver before Wade Phillips, who Sean McVay hired as his "experienced DC". On paper, JDR looked like the perfect hire. Instead, Dennis Allen was apparently the #1 target. How in the world did we think we were going to steal him from the Saints?

At the time, Dennis Allen was not under contract IIRC.  Seems they extended him after the postseason.  Don't hold me to it, but I think that was the case.
