OK here goes... It just hit me...
I think Joe Gibbs retiring threw Dan Snyder for a real loop. He did NOT see it coming and thought he could talk him out of it. I also think that everyone has understood that Bill Cowher is Dan's number ONE choice. He thought it'd work out jus tright that Gibbs' contract would run out right when Cowher is ready to come back. Well, since he isn't coming back this year...
Obviously, Cowher will want to assemble his own complete staff, so...
Dan hires an OC who will be OK with leaving after one year (Zorn would go back to Seattle to be Mora's OC) and he knew that Gregg would only stay if given the head job (and he doesn't want Gregg to have the job because he wouldn't be OK with being HC for just one year), so he goes with Blache at DC, who he figures would be easy to send off after this year as well when Cowher will bring in his own.
OK, go ahead give me a hard time about adding another "theory" ... but I think that's why this OC & DC before hiring HC, because whoever ends up HC is just going to keep it warm for a year.... Thoughts?
