He has to be involved in the hiring and he has to make the choices based on Wade's input (which I would expect him to follow).

whether true or not, the perception is that mcnair rbought wade in, and kubiak really didn't have any say so. i know they tried to spin it after the season like gary was interviewing him, but i don't think that was the case. that said, i don't think letting wade having complete control over the defensive coaches he brings in would cut gary off at the knees anymore than his complete ineptitude at hiring assistance has already done
