I think the important piece of info being overlooked by many posters in this thread is that coordinator positions don't usually have a very long shelf life. Generally speaking, coordinators either succeed and take a head coaching job (college or pro), fail and are fired or are let go as part of a head coaching change. A scenario like Dick LeBeau's, where the coordinator stays in that same role with the same team for a decade or more, doesn't come along that often. Not wanting to hire Doug Marrone because we'd have to replace him in two years is ridiculous. Whoever the team ends up hiring, the odds of replacing him in two years are pretty high anyway.
