I've certainly dreamed of Dan giving Depo the keys to figure out the best way to proceed. Depo has already proven that he can translate his talents across sports. The dude is incredibly sharp, and I think he's already done more for the Browns at this point than he could possibly add at this point.
Meanwhile, Dan can't fucking feel comfortable enough with anyone to commit to anyone long term. At the very least, could Depo serve as a senior advisor? Dan is a smart guy and despite what we've seen from him in the past, I feel he is still waiting for someone that he trusts enough to hand over the controls to. And to be honest, I don't know if Dan has employed anyone that was ever deserving of that trust.
