Well Norv was, so theres a decent shot the next coach lets him go.

I was hoping on the Rivera angle for awhile, but now that is off the table and his defensive staff was a joke (moving a good offensive line coach to dc) so there isn't much to try and pluck away that could be considered a good hire...

Who are some of the guys that make sense as our DC?

Ray Horton (if fired) - Zone Blitz
Reggie Herring or John Pagano - Wade Phillips 1-gap 3-4

I didn't realize Monte Kiffin was starting to run a lot more of the 4-3 Under. I'm not a big fan of his right now at his age and recent track record. But I'm really intrigued by his defense because it basically runs a 4-3 with 3-4 personnel. This is a really good fit for the Chiefs right now.

Other guys to consider are Mark Pettine of the Jets who might have interest in running more of a 46 type look. I don't know if Ed Donatell would plan to run a 49ers version of the 3-4 -- my fear is as DC, he'd go back to a pure 4-3 and he wasn't overly successful in previous stints.

Raheem Morris? Hes only been in the 3-4 one year though.

If you're going to go with an FBS, Manny Diaz would be my choice.

I suppose it depends on the hire. If it's Holmgren, then Pagano's likely a goner.

If its Arians, he'll likely stay.

Good point. Arians will probably get a job somewhere and it's hard to imagine he wouldn't bring John Pagano as his DC. Even if it's not in San Diego. So that means he's probably not an option.

I'd love for Reggie Herring to get the job. I just don't know if Andy is connected to him that well.

Andy isn't exactly Pioli when it comes to only hiring people he knows, but he has like.... zero connections to the guy

Remember when David Gibbs was highly thought of?

Dick's defense in Chicago was 25th and 14th.
In Buffalo as HC, Dick's defense ranked 19th, 31st 14th

In Cleveland this the last 2 years, Dick's defense's ranked 10th 23rd.

Average at best. Do not want.

i will cry if its that turd stain Dick Jauron

Dimtri Patterson FTW

Actually, I liked Gibbs a lot. It appears he has gotten the short end of the stick by the Texans when they made the DC switch.

It appears to me they upgraded significantly; albeit they upgraded significantly in personnel as well.

Houston has a great balance currently of drafting players to fit their offensive and defensive philosophies recently.
