Rizzi today made another strong case to be the next HC. (merged)

When one takes a sincere look around the league, they’ll realize that pretty much all the top offensive coaches and assistants had “cup o’coffee” stints in the NFL. The elites and Hall-of-Famers tend to go out and do other stuff.

Then there’s this fan base, clamoring for Drew Brees and Jon Vilma to come back and coach.
Do what other stuff? Almost all of the successful HC were OC's or DC's before the took a HC position. I think the issue is that an OC can have 1 yr of being an OC and have success and he gets hired as a HC . Brady is a prime example. He had maybe the greatest college offense in history and he was CO OC at LSU and was not the primary play caller for 1 yr and he gets the Car OC job, He bombs there and goes to Buff as QB coach with maybe the best QB in the league. The OC get's fired and Brady gets promoted. He does well but he's got Allen for a QB. Now he's a hot HC prospect.
