Merrit has been with Spags at NY and with us and if Spags leaves my bet is he takes Dave with him as DC if we don't give Dave the DC job.
Obviously we should all be praying that Spags stays but if he doesn't then I'd personally want a proven, experienced guy who has operated at the top level and not a guy who is learning on the job whilst we're in the middle of this incredible period. Spags won a superbowl before he came here. Wilks and Amarumo have been to a superbowl themselves. So that's why I'd look at them.

If he doesn't go back to SF first, I'd add Robert Saleh to that list as a talented DC. Two guys from Reid's tree to keep an eye on would be Ron Rivera and Leslie Frazier. Frazier, however, has an Assistant HC title with Seattle, so he might not be available.
