This paragraph was particularly telling considering Zac's own adventures in the assistant coach hiring process.  An maybe a reminder that it can be challenging for every new coach

"You sit there and talk about all the guys that you've talked to who said, 'Oh, yeah, I'd love to come with you,' " (Ron) Rivera said recently. "But they either want more money than you thought initially because now they know you really want them, or they've lined themselves up with somebody else and may have taken that job, and now you're out there thinking, I've got to find a guy."

I believe there is a lot of truth in that. I suppose, I was one of the few that didn't mind waiting a bit for ZT to find who he thought would be right for for him. I firmly believe that your staff has to be on the same page and know who is in charge. I have no facts to back up my next statement,  just a hunch, that Del Rio's ego would have caused turmoil.
