I counted a half dozen DC's across the league that were recently head coaches and may be again soon...

And Carroll and Tomlin appear to occupy a bit of an in between space where they call "some" amount of plays.

Point is that it is entirely common and has historically been a thing some guys have had a ton of success with on both offense and defense.

i think calling it success is questionable, not talking about the injuries on the d line, but the issues at ILB haven’t been successful. Our run defense has been pretty bad since VW retired so I would say our defensive success is still TBD. Also Backfield got shredded by any above average QB and the pass rush disappeared anytime TJ’s groin pull flared up - we couldn’t make any adjustments to counter these issues - they just got exploited.

I’d like to see Tomlin let the new DC call his plays for the most part at least. What Butler recently said was not comforting at all and the timing of it shows a bit of resentment
