If not as the head coach, then at least as the defensive coordinator. One of the things less mentioned in the whole Skippy debacle is that he also chased off Mike Nolan. I said when Bowlen hired Skippy that he handed the keys to the family Cadillac to the snot-nosed brat who'd just gotten his learner's permit. First thing he did was back out of the driveway and into a tree, then proceeded to head off down the street, while stripping the gears. Seems I was rather prophetic.
Indeed you were. When you have newbees you have to expect missteps. Some seasoning is in order. Offsetting that is a fierce competitive nature and winning experience. Certainly DC is a great fit but maybe he has learned enough to be HC. And Denver could use a head coach that knows how to win.
