Think about it. Who ever comes in now has to be on page with GW's style of defense if you hire a defensive minded HC. You have just named one of his Asst. DC so you need to know a little about it. Or....if you are going to hire an offensive minded HC he has to be knowledgable in the WC style. I think that leaves the Giants coordinator out because he does not run the same defense. It might leave Rex Ryan out because he uses a different style but he may be able to imcorporate his style with our new DC. So now look at who you have, the Titans coordinator which will get along with our system, I'm not so sure about the Colts coordinator and the system he uses. It could be the NE coordinator but I see the Jets fumbling and the Browns are finally starting to get things going after several yrs.

Who's left Cowher and Fassell. Cowher is adamant he will not return until next yr. Although his daughter will be in the area and this would be a great gig for him. Not to mention you have to be in the state a yr before you get in state tuition not that money is an issue. If I were Cowher I would ask for the stars and all the money I could get out of DS and take the job early and mention my daughter as why I decided to take the job. The wonderful father wants to be close. I doubt he is coming though.

That leaves Fassell, the man who is looking to get back into coaching and wanting to revive his career. Perhaps even asking for the job on the cheap. If we do well then Fassell looks like a genius and so does DS. If Fassell stinks it up then it simply proves he's not coaching material.

I'll gaurantee you one thing though. You don't go interviewing people for coordinator jobs without the HC ok on who he wants for his staff. Coordinators do not take jobs not knowing who they would be working for. Everyone has mentiond Dallas but I'm sure Jerry had already had a phone conversation with Phillips and had an agreement prior to the OC getting hired and I'm sure the OC was informed of who the coach would be. I'm betting there is already a HC waiting for the announcement to be made. My gut is it's Fassell who has been directing DS as to who he wouldn't mind having. I could be wrong. This could be a hole assbackwards hiring process. I'm not sure how much Fassell knows about either coordinators style but if you are looking for a job and will take anything you take it and let the coordinators run the show.
