My impression is that in general, defensive coordinators in the past, I dunno, ten or so years, do not do so well when hired as head coaches. I'm thinking of Staley and Saleh right now.

If that is true and not just an impression, I wonder why that is so. Couldn't a D-coordinator-turned-head-coach offer some up and coming offensive mind the benefit of having near-complete control over an offense?

It's a curious thing. Or maybe it's not true. Or maybe there is no real reason.
