I think this would be a very interesting concept and it could make a very powerful team. Who knows, something like that could revolutionize the NFL...

Well in a sense, but if you look at the '85 Bears...They had Ditka and Buddy Ryan. The titles really didn't suggest it, but they were pretty much run like they two head coaches. But ultimately, there needs to one head where the direction, game planning and key personnel issues flow from. One person will always shoulder the responsibilty and be accountable for the success or failure of the team, however.
