Had the opportunity to take control of his own defense at FSU and remove himself under the thumb of defensive minded head coaches.
Instead he chose to go to UGA under Kirby Smart and run Smart's defense. And 2 years later he is a HC.
The idea if you are an offensive guy you have to coach under a defensive guy or vice versa to move up in your career is beyond overblown.
Look at Smart, look at Muschamp, look at Pruitt, look at Mullen, look at Ryan Day...... CFB is littered with examples of protege's getting HC opportunities.
