Remember Belicheat used to be the HC in Cleveland and we kicked his *** regularly.
Then he went to the Pats, hooked up with Br*dy and Ernie Adams, and won 6 Super Bowls, appearing in 9.

6 Super Bowls yet somehow his coaching tree isn't much better than Shades'.

Add in the HOF inductees of that era…………… not much there either and a tell tale as well.

Even though I am an old conservative defensive guy the argument of not having to retool your offense every time you lose an OC to being a head coach is not a bad argument for hiring on the offensive side. The defense could be very good next year despite few aging players. We have a core of young guys worth building around on defense in Harmon, Benton, Black, Porter and Wilson. We have some vets to teach young guys and help shoulder the load and at least for the next couple years there are fewer holes to fill at key positions than on offense. If the offense can start scoring more this defense with a more imaginative DC could be very good.

Wilson is turning into a fave on defense
 
As a complete knuckleball, I hope they add Aden Durde to their list of Head Coaching candidates. I find him very intriguing. He may be in a toss up with Chris Shula for my first choice.

I don’t think he calls the plays on D though I think that is McDonald.

I had a look at his profile. A couple of interesting jobs:

1. Was DLine coach for a few years at Dallas. Their run D improved whilst he was the DLine coach. Wasn't best in the league whilst he was DLine coach, but it wasn't worst either, which it was the year before he was D Line coach and again the year after. How much he contributed to the improvement or whether it was all down to DC Dan Quinn only Dallas knows. That's the sort of thing interviewing should be able to tease out;
2. He was head of football development for NFLUK for four years. It might not be the NFL but that suggests he has done more work involving player development than a lot of other head coaching candidates are likely to have done.
