Interesting.

I've heard it said before that if you have 2 coordinators, you don't have one. Even if Dennis Allen is calling the plays, you need someone to be the second in command. But that's just me.

I guess I could see a scenario where Richard focuses on secondary, Nielsen on D line. You're probably asking a lot from two guys who could be solo DCs for many teams today. But hey, if they're set on winning the SB as a group, it's one hell of a group.

And I guess simple economics come into play - if both are compensated as a DC by the owner it might make it more attractive for the both of them as responsibilities are shared.
