You could make this switch though if you think you can bank on adding two first round talents to bolster the 3 - 4 scheme.

Isiah Simmons from Clemson and Grant Delpit from LSU would actually be ideal for me if they made this switch.  

It's not out of the realm of possibility. But then you get into this weird situation where you're trying to lock down Ngakoue next year while asking him to play at a position he was not paid to play?

A lot of variables there. Everything looks easy on paper. Actually setting it into motion though?

It's hard to imagine changing defensive coordinators if Marrone is retained. It's hard to get quality candidates even when they have a reasonable certainty of being somewhere for several years with a real chance to succeed. If Marrone is retained candidates would look at this job as a 'one year then canned after another losing season' deal. We'd get the DC equivalent of someone like Mularky. It's hard to get quality in for that kind of situation. It's why wiping the slate and starting over this off-season makes so much more sense than letting Caldwell flush another couple of first round picks before the broom comes next year.
