How awful is Kubiak at hiring Defensive Coordinators? :kubepalm:
This is why I don't believe in letting HCs have any say at all in hiring the "opposing" coordinator. They got there because they know one side of the ball really well and assuming they know the other side (which sounds great in theory) just isn't true at all...
I wouldn't let Wade Phillips choose my OC either...
You do realize that the OC and DC are part of the HC's staff. They are underneath the HC so why wouldn't he have a say, hell he hires them. I know you said its your preference, but has this ever been this case? I think we all agree that Wade and the currents players are making a huge difference.

I understand the risk of incoherency in the organization that you're talking about, but I just think it's worth the risk. I don't have much faith in coaches to evaluate the guy on the other side of the ball. Defensive head coaches (like Capers) just want the O to run, run, run and don't seem to appreciate the skill involved in O-linemen and coaching necessary for successful QB play. Offensive HCs (like Kubiak) don't seem to have a clue what it takes to get a secondary that can cover their own complicated route patterns and a front seven that can frustrate their own well-coached QB.
Maybe it's kind of like a work-team scenario. Eventually, you will get the best performance if you do not let the workers choose their own buddies to work with, because you don't want a bunch of people that all think alike. You want different kinds of people that come up with different ideas, so that you can choose all of the best ideas (although some will be out there ridiculous) to get the best overall achievement.
All I know is this: extreme success on one side of the ball doesn't mean you know squat about running or choosing the leader for the other side.
