    How popular would signing Butch Davis be? (Snicker)

    If Vrabel is scheming and calling the plays, he may want a yes man.

    Paul got the position in which he coached for 9 incorrect, and made up the DC part. Sloppy work.

    I like the whole "mentoring" approach that I read about yesterday (DC who could also be an "assistant" HC while Vrabel learns the HC job here) . I was hoping that LeBeau would be retained for that role, but that is apparently not going to happen. The article yesterday mentioned a Jack Del Rio (would like that) or John Fox (not so much) for a role like that.

    I just think that Vrabel is going to have a bit to learn here, and it may not be a bad idea to have a DC on staff with some HC experience....

    That would be a better job for an OC

    It could also be the job of an offensive assistant

    Someone like Jim Caldwell for QB coach

    Yeah, the article mentioned Caldwell also, and that could work also if Caldwell is good with a move like that. That said, I have always liked Del Rio in the DC role....

    I do too

    Del Rio's defense though is completely different from what Vrabel knows

    Perry is from a similar background

    He wants someone with the same mindset. It is what all head coaches do

    Perry is not a DC IMO.

    If he wanted someone from a similar background, he had that on staff when he got here (as well as a good mentor), then whacked him....

    Where do DCs come from though? They do not just magically appear out of thin air.

    Mike Heimerdinger was not an OC when he came to Tennessee but he did an excellent job
