If he proves to have no regard for his own authority as an NFL head coach that is going to affect his authority in future positions. The NFL is run by leaders, compromising in this fashion is pretty much telling everyone in the league that you are a push over when it comes to your command.
He better enjoy the money he receives here because I don't envision his head coaching or offensive coordinating career continuing in the long run.

He's not commanding an army, he's a head coach and that's way more about understanding and dealing with everyone in the organization from players to mgmt to the receptionist that it is about dolling out orders and playing the pseudo hard a$$. There is an interesting piece in this week's Sports Illustrated about drill sgt coaches.
Everyone in the league knows what the Skins organization is like and I dont think his credibility will be hurt at all. The best way to hurt his credibility is to be an antogonistic jerk. That would kill his future prospects more than anything. Because one compromises does not mean he's a pushover, it means he knows how to play the game and work with people.
