I personally don't like having a DC as HC in this league...slow and plodding reminds me too much of ELLLLLLLLLLLLOS. I understand the reason though wanting to keep the coach staff together. This situation reminds me of the Illinois coaching debable of the coach being fired right before the season beginning, then the interim was named HC at the end of the year. The interim coach was only offered a 2 year contract, though(I wouldn't see that happening though here). Trying to make the best out of bad situation. All I can say is the offense better not miss a beat even if a DC becomes HC.
