AS others have pointed out to you, that was his choice. Here are what make peope think he may be an elite DC.

He was the Wisconson DC & DB coach from 2017-2022 (Interim HC for part of 2022)

2017 - #2 total defense, #2scoring defense, #3 passing defense, #4 Opponents third down conversions per game

2018 - #24 total defense, #27scoring defense, #19 passing defense, #39 Opponents third down conversions per game

2019 - #4 total defense, #8scoring defense, #11 passing defense, #2 Opponents third down conversions per game

2020 - #4 total defense, #9scoring defense, #31 passing defense, #2 Opponents third down conversions per game

2021 - #1 total defense, #3scoring defense, #3 passing defense, #4 Opponents third down conversions per game

2022 - #9 total defense, #24scoring defense, #30 passing defense, #19 Opponents third down conversions per game

Imagine for a minute JD and this offense with that defense. Or Nuss with the offense we saw in the bowl game.

I don't know what to expect as DC but Leanard would be a home run, IMO.
