It's been a long, long time since we've had to actually consider this type of thing, which is the reality for the majority of teams in the NFL.Here's the best part.
Whomever we hire, if it doesn't work out....
We move on from them and find someone who does.
Pete was an anomaly. The chances of finding a ringleader that lasts 14 years is close to zero in todays NFL. Maybe we bring someone in who really fixes the defense in a year or two but just can't find a pulse offensively. We keep the DC and same defensive scheme and find someone who can put us over the top offensively.
I hope we hit the jackpot this time, but if we don't, it doesn't mean letting go of Pete was a bad decision.
There's upside and downside everywhere right now. It's all potential. This is why I may have preferred candidates, but at the end of the day, I just want someone John is comfortable working with. That's the big thing right now.
