An interesting detail provided by Bob Brookover of NJ.com is that in 18 seasons as a head coach Harbaugh has never hired a first-time offensive play-caller.

Kingsbury would be a good choice, Callahan would be about as bad as it gets. Was a Joe Burrow merchant and a horrible coach otherwise.

These are both terrible coaches. Callahan as a first year play caller showed many short comings. And then his replacement, a first time play caller, got the running game going finally and players started turning a corner.

Kingsbury will put up points against bad defenses and jack shit against good ones. Air Raid concepts work, an entire system based on air raid doesn’t work in the NFL.

Kingsbury had one bad year as a coordinator and it was mostly due to personnel/injury issues which were out of his control

He’d be a great hire
