Why I love the Dennis Allen rumor

I think this may be the most underrated piece of news in the Ben Johnson hiring. Dennis will compliment Ben very well & reduced a lot of the question marks.

1) There were concerns over how Ben would build a staff. While he will take some pieces from Detroit (hopefully the o-line coach), there are a lot of jobs to fill. Dennis has been in the league a long time and has a large rolodex to help with that.

2) Dennis has top 5 defensive upside (having done it twice) and won’t require a personnel change for the scheme, since he is a 4-3 guy.

3) Dennis is a great DC and a 2 time failed head coach, so he won’t leave for a 3rd shot.

4) Ben is a first time head coach, Dennis should be able to help guide him to avoid obvious pitfalls.
