It's clearly the dominant strategy
worst case you've Gerard Parker'd the DC position while keeping the most respected DB coach in the country in the fold for another year. Cultural continuity, schematic and semantic continuity, knows the personnel and the players and other coaches, etc.
Best case you've set yourself up for another great 3 year DC run before he goes off and gets a head job.
