Then I relaxed when I heard that Jack Del Rio came into town for the DC job. Then I was confused when I read that he left town without a contract . . . how can this be? This was an easy layup. Erase the stain of Terrybl Austin and move on, this was a no-brainer. Then several more DCs came in and left. I knew before any other assistants were named, this is going to be a screwed up staff. I had no idea it would be this bad, though. This team looks like the Houston Astros from about 5 or 6 years ago. It's just a place that's barely above the minors and you get to be scouted by other teams while you face against live MLB pitching and hitting, or in this case, NFL defense and NFL offense.
Del Rio never officially interviewed. I believe he took a phone call from ZT and decided it wouldn’t be a good fit. Pretty telling...
