If you wish NFL talent to coach, you just have to shell out the money. USC is about to pay Jeremy Bates one million dollars plus a year to become offensive assistant coach. We can get an NFL DC we just have to pay right.

can you compare our program
can you compare our program to USC's? I've always thought they were a tier above us. It says in that article that it took some convincing by Carroll. I'd imagine we'd have to throw in a bit more money than USC in order to land a NFL coordinator...unless they had ties to the program.
In that radio interview RR did that got posted up on this site, he said he wasn't going to pay anywhere near that kind of money. If Pete set the bar at 1 million, then I'd kiss any hopes of an NFL coordinator goodbye, save for alumni.
Reach
He may be a great coach you never know, but this is a reach. Hiring Mike Shanahan's offensive coordinator is like hiring Bellichicks defensive coordinator. Shanahan called the plays and designed the offense. It's a risky move. This is not like hiring Rex Ryan or Norm Chow to run your unit.

I'm also about 90% there's a backdoor head coach in waiting deal here. Carroll is about 58 and Bates was a hot commodity, it doesn't make sense otherwise.

Life should not be a journey to the grave to arrive safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What A Ride!" HST
It would be nice to get a good NFL DC, but I just don't see this happening, I just hope we don't land GR, it will be a sad sad day if that were to happen :(
