There is one another group too. Failed HC who goes back to coordinator. Matt Nagy is an interesting name there since he's not an OC currently. Probably not a good fit for us, but I'm surprised his name didn't pop up this offseason for other OC spots.This is offered up continuously as received wisdom from the mount. Who says this is the case?
If someone is presently an OC or DC, he's probably not moving, or his employer won't give permission. If he's an out-of-work OC or DC, you can be sure he's had mixed success. So, in truth, it comes down to coaches one step below as the available pool of candidates to fill OC and DC jobs, and 99% of fans have absolutely no idea who they are other than those on their favourite team and even then. I'll trust that Monti, Sears and Gannon have a pretty good list of 'up-and-comers' that aren't in any leftover bin.
Fans wanted change, and they are getting it.
Right now, I'm all-in for young, dynamic and innovative.
I'd prefer the up and comer over any other group mentioned.
