I have my concerns about both, but how much is EB and how much is Reid. We just (are) went through that lesson.  I'd gamble young one more time the way it should have been done from the get go.

If I wanted a D minded HC it would def be Saleh, who is rumored to be bringing in SF run game coordinator with as OC.

I just don't want Burrow switching systems or play callers throughout his career. So I think a HC from the Offensive side, protects us from losing OC's every 2 years or so to HC positions (if we are lucky).

Interesting take. I know Burrow prefers to pass a lot, and loves passing out of 5 wide sets. A run heavy approach would certainly conflict with this. However, it would extend Burrow's career. I'm sure we would go to more of a balanced attack under Saleh than run heavy though. Saleh would likely allow us to retain some of our defensive players like WJIII. He would fit into the division well. 

If we do go with a Brady or Bienemy, we definitely need a proven DC.

I kind of feel like we'll be stuck with the same coaches going into next year though--and will be banking on players returning from injury, draftees, and possibly a FA guard to make the difference.

The idea of having an offensive minded HC to bring stability to the OC position makes sense though. Bienemy would be my choice if that's the line of thinking they're using, based purely on experience. But I'd certainly give Brady a chance if they hired him.
