From what we know (and we don't know everything) it does seem they put all their eggs in the Saleh basket. If that doesn't work out for whatever reason, it seems the fallback is Staley. Which is the thought that bothers me. If we knew they have been interviewing others I don't think the posts here would be anything like what we have seen. So I am in wait and see mode, but skeptical about how this has gone. (I am including special teams here)
It's insane that Staley is even in the mix. Shanahan interviewed this dude last year and decided he preferred to roll with Sorensen...then they have Staley in the building for a year, and he clearly hasn't made a great impression considering they're still in the market for a DC.
it would be a catastrophic failure if Staley ends up being the DC in so many ways. We haven't even touched on what it would mean for the personnel, scheme and assistant coaches. This is the type of s**t that definitely could get Shanny fired.
