Quote:I didn't think Gus would consider hiring someone like Schwartz because in doing so, he'd more than likely be handing the keys of the defense completely over to his DC. The fact that Gus might be willing to do so speaks volumes. I don't think his concern in hiring Schwartz or any other coach is driven by who might replace him. I think he's hiring with the mindset that he needs to get it right to save his own job.

I believe Gus is exploring all angles to get his defense fixed. He's looked at two candidates that would require him to be more hands on and potentially call the plays and now he's looking at an experienced candidate that wouldn't require as much hands on from Gus but happens to share similar concepts such as the wide-9 alignment.


I know all the focus and hype was on Gus calling the plays this season but from my interpretation I don't believe Gus really wants to have that responsibility if he doesn't have to.

Quote:Bradley said there are multiple scenarios for filling the position, adding that while there is a "strong possibility" the new coordinator could be the game-day play-caller he has not ruled out calling the plays himself.
