Surely the goal of the DC hire is to get someone who will give us the best chance at a top ranking defense. I hope, at least, that Moore doesn’t choose the person he thinks is second best just because he’ll have him longer.
Are you saying that because Staley was so terrible at being a HC that no one would give him a chance even if he did field a top 5 D? Whereas with Parker if HE got us a top 5 D they would pull the trigger because he’s never been a failed HC? There’s plenty of instances of successful coordinators not getting HC jobs after 1 year, just as there’s plenty of instances of failed HC’s getting another opportunity.
I just don’t think you prioritize the likelihood of having them in a year or two over how good you think that coach can be.
If Moore chooses Staley; I really hope it’s because he thinks the biggest advantage of hiring him is because he is the best DC for the job.
