He took over as DC midseason on a Chargers 34 defense that lost it's best player at the start of the season, and yet revitalized that defense after taking over.

This guy has shown he can get players to achieve, and has shown he has unmatched flexibility when it comes to scheme.

He might be my top choice next to Jim Shwartz.

Great resume as a positional coach and coordinator, but it makes you wonder why he's been passed over countless times for head coach positions.
