If our next HC hires an offensive coordinator to call plays, why does it matter if he's offensive minded?
I'd take Robert Saleh over just about any other NFL assistant.
Well do you want a defensive minded HC who will bring in a good OC, who will then blow all his picks on defensive linemen?
I'd think a good offensive talent would be less likely to come here as OC if we had a good offensive HC that would overshadow him
Ideally, between the HC and OC, one would have a background at developing and understanding QB's, and the other a more traditional OC.
That said John Harbaugh would be my ideal guy. Obviously he's not a potential candidate, but it goes to show you that the right guy is the right guy irrelevant of his background.
Of course on the flip side none of us want to see the Rex Ryan mindset where you bring in a guy phenomenal on the defensive did eof the ball, that's going to give the offense HIV
