I think you're looking a little too hard into it.

Look at a guy like Jim Leavitt, the LB coach for 49ers, former head coach of USF, never ran a 3-4, yet the 49ers have the best linebackers in the league.

It's more about being able to teach at this level, not necessarily position coaches fitting a certain system, and Vitt should be able to do fine there.

Maybe Maybe not i'm looking too hard into it, but that's exactly What Payton needs to be doing is looking very hard into it. Vitt is a guy with a dual background with LB and DB coaching experience. We have an option to move him around if its serving a greater purpose. A greater purpose which i think is clearly obvious.

agree, AND motivate- which I have no doubt is one of Vitt's specialties. The DC is more the schemer. The position guys are more on specific technique polishing is the way I see them. Joe has found his niche and is happy there. Just like some are good coordinators (Romeo or Haslett) but not cut out for HCing, some are position coaches and not coordinators.
