Ask Denver how that offensive mind is working out...lol

 

I'm not saying its the right mindset.  Personally I think it doesnt matter if the head coach is offensive or defensive.  As long as they are a good coach, surrounded by other good coaches, I think either can succeed.  It just seems that most teams want an offensive minded coach since McVay.

I agree but not all do. Jets went defense, Texans went defense, and so did the Bears. 

I think the more consistent theme is youth over experience as many of the recent hires have been on the younger side.  Seems like teams want that guy that is willing to spend 100 hours a week at the job

also, the venom in this thread, and in this fanbase in general, for a coordinator whose unit has finished top 10 or better in every season he's been here is WILD

We all care very deeply about something over which we have zero control. Also, while we all know that we couldn’t play at an NFL level, game day coaching is something that a lot fans think that they could do.

I doubt any franchise is going to go for a defensive coordinator who is 64 when next season starts.  EDIT: It's ageist, yes, but the NFL is a young man's game.  

 

Defensive coordinators as HC's are fewer because it's an offensive game.  Almost 2/3rds of HC's who began the season were not from the defensive side. 

 

It's also a consideration that this is McD's scheme that Frazier manages for him.  Whether that's fair or factors into hiring him.  

 

And, to @BullBuchanan's point, he'll be evaluated on whether that prospective team will invest in defense as much as the Bills have.  And when you're at or near the top in many categories it's hard to quantify how much better he made that unit.  Teams will consider that as well.     

 

Perhaps Houston will hire him after they inevitably fire Lovie Smith and before that David Culley.
