Wasn't Coleman focusing on the DEs and OLBs with Knight on the interior? Perhaps Thacker can fill Coleman's role, and we can get a true defensive coordinator. (I know the next thought is probably, "or perhaps Thacker can just leave", but it seems like that not going to happen)

Actually he is available. Dunno if he'd be willing to be a DL coach after being a longtime DC. Good Florida ties

Why not just have Larry Knight coach the DL? It’s a pretty common job in both college football and NFL. It’s not that big of an ask. If he’s not up to the task, why keep him around?

If we did that, where should we add a coach, since we'd be one coach light? How about a new DC?

We could hire a Special Teams coach or a dedicated TEs coach. We could also just try to hire someone else to Coleman’s role. I’d look at candidates for all of those roles and then hire whoever seems like the biggest net improvement for the team.

Probably will have to go the Mike Daniels route with a unknown up and comer rather than an established brand name. And no, Giff Smith is not leaving the Chargers to come back for one year…
Jess Simpson…out of Miami he was interim when Diaz was let go
