Open DC position

Hard to see that happening. Smith was brought in when the Dolphins got Campanile. He was then replaced by Harasymiack and the d clearly took a jump up. To go back to Smith now optically wouldn't be great.
I don't know these guys well enough to say much - but I though bringing back KC was a reach too. I don't know how many ex-Rutgers defensive coaches are out there but I could see a retread. GS prefers the devils he knows.

I’d be happy with that. If I was a betting person I’d guess this would be one of Greg’s first calls.

I don't see it. That would be a big step down from his current DC role with the Packers. I think he is done with college football.
He’s an NFL DC right now on a top level team, he’s not leaving that spot anytime soon.
didn’t realize he was still NFL . yeah cross him off the list.
2025 with its brutal schedule and our losses on the Defense side of the ball will make the new DC’s job very daunting. The foundation is there with the recruits coming in to make 2026 and beyond highly successful for the new DC.
I would consider bill bellichick (not Steve) or saban if either wanted to get back into coaching as DC.
Spags if he ever wanted to come back to Jersey and he did work with Flaherty before.
I consider all 3 of those to be home run hires

To be fair, not one of those three is realistic for Rutgers.
Bill isn't going anywhere that doesn't make him HC and despite the report, I don't see him coaching in college.
Saban is retired and enjoying it and if he ever came back it would be as a HC.
Spags hasn't coached in college since 1997, not only is he one the NFL's best, but there like negative chance of him ever going back to college.
But would Spags want to coach the Chiefs all playoffs and potentially win a 3rd straight Super Bowl??
If he won’t come immediately then we should disqualify him immediately…….
True . Probably should disqualify Saban too if he insists staying at ESPN through the entire CFPBut would Spags want to coach the Chiefs all playoffs and potentially win a 3rd straight Super Bowl??

Still have bill
The only way there is a shot with BB is if wants something a little less stressful than a HC job but still be involved with the game. He and Schiano got along well both when Steve playing lacrosse AND football at Rutgers.
