However, we know that he is Andy's buddy and for that reason alone makes me think that Andy wants him.
Remember Sutton was Andy's pal too.

I don't think Sutton was Andy's pal. From what I remember, it was a strong rec from his pal Gruden. And I can't blame him for the hire. Sutton was a decent hire, they just kept him a few years too long. The overall Ryan scheme hasn't adapted well to the new modern offense but at the time it was a good scheme to use. And to Suttons credit, we did adapt the defense in many ways. We drafted guys like Jones and Ford to add speed to the line and off the edges.
