Andy Reid moved him to be the defensive backs coach for the sole reason that he would have opportunities elsewhere. After just one year on the defensive side of the ball with Jim Johnson, he finally got a couple opportunities. He likely never would have had a shot if Andy didn’t remove him from special teams, it’s just the mindset of the league.

The couple that come to mind, Harbaugh and Cowher, are amongst the best two of the past 25 years.

With such a high bust rate in the offensive and defensive coordinator route as well as the hit and miss college coach leap, you’d think more of these guys would get more chances with two such good examples of it working.

Mike Ditka was special teams and tight ends coach with the Cowboys when Halas hired him.

Been there, done that 30 years ago.

Harbaugh’s obviously spent too much time with Ray Lewis.

Unless you hate Belichick, then it’s not interesting…?

We all know the imprimatur of BB amounts to a guarantee of success (Crennel, Weis, McDaniels, Pioli).

OTOH, the image of ol’ Grumpy contemplating another year of not winning the Super Bowl, partially due to the guy he “recommended”, is amusing.

Getting back to the subject–I’m sure Harbaugh has too much class to do what I would do, which is to take a picture of myself with the Lombardi Trophy and mail it to everyone who didn’t give me a job, with the caption, “And what has the guy you hired won lately?”
