Higgins was the one who took over from Matthews when the latter had a controversial exit from Edmonton back in 2001. I doubt that The Don wants to get back into coaching full-time but one never knows. The Turk Schoenert hiring is at least as interesting as I believe that Popp interviewed him for the head coaching job last year before settling on Dan Hawkins.

Higgins and Matthews certainly had differences of opinion in the Edmonton days - especially when it came to quarterbacks. I don't think the Don has interest in full time coaching, and right now, I think Higgins is open to suggestions, considering the blunders so far. He at least better be if Matthews is reporting to Popp. This could be a three-ringer before it's over. Personally I think Don is going to be paying closer attention to the assistant coaches and not Higgins. It's a clusterfrack with the offense right now and I think Dinwiddie is in way over his head. To be fair, he wasn't ready. That would be like handing over the OC title to Jason Maas right now. Good head on his shoulders, but a couple more years learning his craft is a good thing. Perhaps AC might make his OC coaching debut before the season is out???
