Good take. He isn’t getting this job, but neither are 9 guys on Paton’s list. Some of these interviews are purely for perspective, or for down the road. Glenn is most likely going to get fired along with everyone else at Lions prolly next year or the following year, and when that happens, do we need a DC or position coach?
I have no problem with this interview.

even if his title there is OC, he's not the real OC. . . kyle is doing that job. . . if mcdaniels is ever going to move up the ranks, it's likely that he'll need to go someplace else where he can have full coordinator responsibilities for a couple years, not just the title. . . kyle knows that-- he's not going to stand in the way of one of his loyal assistants getting a promotion that will help him to advance his career. . .
as far as the narrative that denver needs an "experienced guy," i couldn't disagree more. . . most of the guys who are available that have previous head coaching experience are available for a reason-- because they weren't great at the job when they did have it. . . outside of pederson, the rest of 'em are mediocre city. . . you know who's an experienced HC? pat freakin' shurmur. . . pass! i can be patient while a bright young coach goes through some growing pains. . . where the hell are the broncos going in such a big hurry?

- John Elway“When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
Would it be considered a promotion to go from being the OC who doesn’t call plays to be offered OC who is the play caller on another team (meaning can the team block it)? It seems several of the OCs that we may want for HC aren’t playcallers for their clubs (McDaniel, Callahan, Bieniemy, etc). If we brought in a HC like say, Quinn and offered to make those guys the play caller, is that enough of a promotion? Honestly, I don’t know.

It’s a promotion, but a team is not under any obligation to allow the transfer if they are under contract. It may be dickish not to, but they don’t have to. Mike Brown did not allow VJ to come to Denver as DC when Kubes was hired. If you just happen to catch them in between contracts like Elway did with Munchak, he can simply walk away to even a lateral job. Again, Munchak was in between contracts with the Steelers.
HC is the only position that a team must allow a guy to leave if he’s under contract.
