Agreed. I think being HC is more about being leader than being a top quality DC or OC. Very few HCs can  perform the HC and coordinator duties. His job would be to manage the guys under him, not design a defense week in and week out. 

I do too. The CEO leader, the idea guy that knows where to go how to get there, how to motivate people, all that stuff. We have seen great coordinators be crappy head coaches. One of the earlier examples was Buddy Ryan. But there are dozens of examples of it over the years. 
Generally it is a different skill set, and the NFL seems to like that Peter Principle thing of promote people who are great at one job into a bigger job that they haven’t demonstrated any aptitude for. 
 

Only a few wunderkinds out there and people try to replicate that, chasing the trend, but they don’t have a wunderkind that can handle all of it and be good enough at all of it. 
We might be dealing with that here right now, minus the greatness. Just good at coaching QBs. Not great And not great at coordinating like these other people that have demonstrated it over years. 
At the same time is showing potential for HC.

I get it honestly. Tepper wants to see this happen and keep trending in the right direction. If not, and there is significant regression, everyone gets wiped out all at once. I’d much prefer tha than having a few pieces holding on through another retool.

He has his primary pieces, the only maybe is bringing in a new offensive guy to help refine our approach on that side of the ball.

That’s just not how this works. Canales was strapped with him from the beginning. You have to let your HC picks their guys. This is exactly why guys with options don’t come here. This is meddling.

No worthwhile coach isn’t going to bring on their own staff. And Tepper has zero football knowledge, he should not be making/forcing the hires like that. It’s sad really.

Seems like since Raheem was a defensive guy and the Atlanta defense obviously improved that the team was an offensive coordinator away from being far more competitive. Falcons gonna Falcon.

Raheem isn't a Head Coach. He is a coordinator. Like many failed coordinators to HC conversions before him.

Clearly the rest of the league knows more about good coaching than the average fan

It’s gonna sound awful but do not underestimate the amount of NFL teams that will want to interview him simply to satisfy the Rooney Rule. It’s a reality I am sure Evero and his team are acutely aware of.

Not denying that's a possibility but this sounds like he's the only available black coach in the league and under minds the improvements made on defense this past season.
