OK let's tap the brakes here a bit for him as DC.........futher check shows he doesn't have a ton of coaching experience (see below). Defensive secondary coach is probably the position for now. In fact, Horton has ton more experience..........still very excited to have Richard on board ( his coaching career below )

Coaching career[edit]
Richard was hired in 2008 by Carroll as a graduate assistant coach for the USC secondary (defensive backs). He followed Carroll to the NFL and joined his former team, the Seahawks, as secondary coach.

Richard's secondary's hard-hitting style has led it to be nicknamed "the Legion of Boom." Bleacher Report described the Legion of Boom's accomplishments as a credit not only to Richard, but to Carroll, who was a safety himself in his playing days and began his coaching career as a secondary coach.[2]

After losing Super Bowl XLIX, the Seahawks promoted Richard to defensive coordinator to replace Dan Quinn, who had left to become the head coach for the Atlanta Falcons.

Dude, it's not a Garrett offense anymore than it's a Garrett defense. He's the HC of the Team not a coach of the offense only. That's the concept to grab. If the defense improves JG get's some credit, if the offense improves likewise. If the defense steps back he takes a part of the responsibility, same on offense. It's a team thing

Agree 100%. Unfortunately, whether warranted or not, JG gets all the blame for failures and none of the credit for success.
