Dolphins interview Kris Richard for DC Job

It would be an absolute tragedy if we lose both co'defensive coordinators this year. Both are up and coming and well respected coaches and to lose them would create a huge void on the defense in so far as coaching leadership. I've stayed pretty quiet on DA and his decisions with keeping the coaches like PC, but IMO he created this potential mess by not being able to select one coordinator and maintaining his hold on calling the defense during games. If we had one coordinator who was responsible for the play calling teams would not be able to poach him for a lateral move! What a mess and no fix in sight it seems!
If you were a defensive assistant for another team and just saw two defensive coaches get plucked up from the Saints for better jobs, why would you not want to take a DC job for the Saints? The defense is already good, and you aren’t going to be judged on the offensive performance if it’s no good.

Carmichael was even getting HC interviews when Payton was calling the plays, getting on a staff with a successful unit is a clear stepping stone to a better future in the NFL. The alternative is going be a DC on team that is bottom five in defense with no talent or prospects for a coach that has probably not created any bigger opportunities for their assistants.
