Lets see:
1. He dictated what type of offense he wanted to be run. Fullback, two tight end sets, etc...
2. Its been widely reported that he will be extremely involved with the football program.
3. Hes looking exclusively at defensive guys, because the offensive model is his. The OC only needs to execute it.
4. None of the candidates are legitimate HC types, just coordinators for life or recruiters.
Sure, maybe hes not coaching, but hes following the Barry Alvarez model completely.
