Van Gorder is a guy I'd take if we swung and missed on a dozen other candidates. He's a vagabond for a reason...he's just not that good. Not bad by any means, but he's a deep cut fall back option, in my opinion.
 
BVG is a **** good DC. His results aren't quite what they used to be in the early part of the 2000's, but he's **** good. He's peripatetic, though, no doubt.

One thing concerned me with his defense last year at ND. It went completely down the drain as soon as he lost his MLB Schmidt, who called the D on the field. Tells me his D might be a little too complex.

This. There's a frustration with that fan base that a walk-on MLB was the only guy who could make the defensive calls. They have a stud ILB who never got snaps and the thought was it was because he didn't grasp BVG's system because of its complexity.

Don't need another DC with a 37 page playbook...

That last sentence just gave me a coronary event.
 
Pretty sure he runs an aggressive 1 gap 4-3 over. Which should make most happy

This list is incomplete without Bill Belichick.
 
Talked to a long time Georgia fan/booster who is in his early 40s and not a hillbilly. Very intelligent guy who thought losing Richt was a mistake.

Anyhow, he told me he thought BVG was a very solid DC and a great recruiter.
