Not that I really care, but a bit of a stretch no? Special Teams Coordinator as a token position (and its a pretty low profile position in the first place) after he retired and had nothing else to do.

But he's a bit obnoxious, loud, assumable that he is a players type coach, and likes wearing tshirts and shorts on the sidelines, so they're swinging the other way, thinking that "do the opposite" is the right mentality to try.

Experience wise, it'd be like Nik Lewis retiring now, doing something with the Stamps, then hanging around for 4 years after on the sidelines, then getting a head coaching gig somewhere.

A guy like Rick Campbell (who's not probably ready yet, just as Chris Jones wasn't ready before this year) would've been a much more experienced coach..not as high profile a name of course, but years and years more coaching experence...and Campbell is a couple notches below a guy like Dickenson. It took a guy like Jones a few pass-overs to get a gig, but O'Shea gets in right away?

He's in as over his head as Dunigan was here as a coach (and then they gave Dunigan the GM duties as well to make things worse).
