What's the point? You're not going to find a new DC to step right in 2 games in. Defense is MF's thing. Let him get involved without neglecting his other duties within the program. Stop with the TV interviews and speaking engagements so he has time to pull double duty. He, Ash, and the rest of the defensive staff can do this. At seasons end, MF can re-evaluate the situation.
