or offensive coordinator for that matter is to hire them as your head coach
5 million per year will attract a lot more candidates than 1 million per year
I do think there is something to be said for having a head coach who has proven to be an elite coordinator
you then have 2 coordinators on one side of the ball for film review - game planning - in game adjustments etc
Kirby Smart and Ryan Day are both heavily involved in their side of the ball from their coordinator days
you then have 5-6 million dollars invested in one side of the ball at the coordinator level
this is not to say that a position coach like Mickey can't be successful - just another angle which I'm sure is not lost on Trev
