If you ask me, the DC thing is a red herring. If he doesn't sign here, then it's just a pretextual reason why. Wherever he goes, he'll be lucky if the DC is there all 3 or 4 years of his college career. Coordinators at top programs are being poached for HC positions all the time. He should not expect any permanency among the DC at any school he's looking at. However, he should expect permanency at the HC spot and we're good there. Besides, ultimately, Mario calls the shots. Mario can explain what type of scheme he envisions his defense running, where he fits, etc. without the actual hire being made. Mario isn't going to hire someone whom he doesn't see eye to eye with in terms of what Mario wants his D to look like.
