Now, let's see what kind of a staff TP and AL can assemble.

IMO this will tell the tale. Under "normal" circumstances the OC and DC would have resumes that would be at least equal to Tavita's and arguable better, experience wise. It may be that the intention is to retain the coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball, or at least a lot of it. On the offensive side, who will want the job? This could be quite "interesting" to say the least. Tavita doesn't exactly have a "coaching tree" that can be mined for candidates. Whoever is hired as assistants will have to go out there and recruit. They will have to explain to recruits why they should play for a coach who has never been a head coach and has never "won anything" in the NFL. That may not be so easy. We shall see, but my initial gut feel is hiring a good staff will not be easy.
