Andy certainly trusts him in that role because he knows him and would be helping with so many of the primary OC duties. That's quite a bit different than being that young of a coach and all of a sudden you're on a new team with new players, and you're working under a defense-minded head coach who's going to leave ALL of the shit up to you to handle.
Let's say Miami does want Kafka. It sounds like they'd be getting him so he can also be Tua's QB coach, because all of Tua's shortcomings are gonna need to be fixed with a great QB coach, not necessarily a great OC. They can't hire Kafka as a QB coach, so they'd be promoting him to OC. That could work. Or it could just mean that Kafka isn't ready and then you're doing more harm than good.

All they would need to know is that he was the likely replacement had EB gotten a job. Sure, it would be a huge risk up for him but how else are you gonna move up in the world?
I don't want it to happen but if I was Miami there really isn't another guy I could think to bring in that's better than Kafka. Same with him, why wouldn't take that job? He's the next guy behind EB, but why wait....?
