I am hopeful with him as he did a good job in the Cleveland and Baltimore games. Cooley absolutely took him down for the gameplan he put together against the Rams. At the end of the day, if KOC was willing to come back, not bringing him back was a huge mistake on Ron's part. KOC is just a better coach and he also had chemistry with Dwayne. I do remember that Ron tried getting Shurmur for the role but he wasn't having it, probably because he'd have to coach Dwayne. I bet Norv is some of unoffical senior offensive assistant but it would help to formally bring some sort of retired OC like Al Saunders on board as a consultant to help Scott out
I don't think Ron would demote Scott after a season without a competent QB at the helm but some good OCs will be available this offseason, including Dirk Koetter.
