I don't know if Kalani's failing is intelligence, so much as it's sound management & perhaps even vision. Does he have a firm enough grasp on the big picture? (Honestly, I thought this was a failing of Bronco, too — who delegated quite a bit to Anae (more than people realize).)
If we had hired Anae as HC it's quite likely Kalani would be our DC right now. And I think I'd like him in that capacity, particularly w his ability to recruit.
