Call it a hunch - he has been in one of the most explosive offenses, with one of the best offensive minds, and best QB's. Just being in the room for all of that makes you smarter. He is also part of game planning and has a call sheet for every game. Just feels like the dude should be prepared to succeed as an OC.
He is probably more qualified than many other people who get shots at OC for the first time or HC for that matter.
I am not in on EB for HC but OC...yes.
The guy has had over 15 interviews for head coach can’t nail one and he has never been a true OC just a glorified title.
