^^^^ you can tell it was a slap in the face to him when they hired Major. He wanted to leave and maybe this will be a good fit

Part of me is a little concerned that Orlando might be with us for a single year before taking a HC gig. Leaving us in a search for a DC again next offseason.

It wasn't a hard decision for Orlando.

P5 > G5... it's really that simple. He'll get a shot at HC if he does well at UT. While making more $$$ in his role at DC. <Easy button>

Can someone give me a scouting report of Orlando's defense and how it potentially fits our current talent?

Ryan is working on the offensive breakdown, but I think he will do the same for the defense eventually.

I had these same thoughts.. hopefully we keep him for a couple years at least

I understand what you are saying.

However, I would much rather have a coach that is doing his job well enough that he is in demand. It means he is a good coach and is doing a good job. As opposed to a coach who isn't doing his job well enough to have other schools looking to give him a "promotion". Most likely that means that he is an ordinary coach at best.

The glory years of Mack Brown included precisely what you describe above.  Mack's best run during his tenure consisted of the following coordinators, each staying only two seasons before leaving for HC gigs:

Robinson

Chizik

Muschamp

Simply a consequence of success. 

It is a pretty rare bird that is satisfied to remain as an elite coordinator.  Many would have been wise to do so (in retrospect).
