Fire Dennis Allen!!

No doubt that's a good rationale for going with an offensive guy. I'm just saying if you can't get Ben Johnson or maybe Slowik, if there is a defensive guy better than the remaining offensive guys, I'm good with going for a defensive head coach who brings in a young OC.

And I would be remiss if I didn't note that Belichick was a defensive head coach who developed Brady.
Agreed. I think we both agree that ww want the best HC regardless of he's offensive or defensive minded. If we go defensive coach, we need one who can build a close relationship with the QB. Belichick was probably more the exception than the rule, but a HC like him who can build that kind of rapport with the QB would be great.

I will say though that a Brady is a rare bird who could lead and work with a defensive coach. That's hard to do for most QBs.
