Late Night Bullshit: Defensive Coordinators
 

I've heard lots of names thrown out there for offensive coordinators...but when it comes down to Reid's most important coaching hire, I haven't heard much.

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?

Slightly off-topic, but does anybody know why the **** Gunther Cunningham still has a job?

The Wide 9 is an exclusive club +Schwartz is german.

Once he gets his guys in there, he's going to turn that defense around.

Is there any way to pay wade Phillips ten kazillion dollars and get him?

Romeo Crennel



































:evil:

This dude is ready.

Kevin Greene would make sense being he is a guy from GB and Dorsey is rumored to be our next gm.

Sure. Write a check for ten kazillion dollars.

Kevin Greene would take Justin Houston and just make him rape entire worlds.

Haha is Greg Lloyd coaching somewhere, too?

Jim Tomsula
Reggie Herring
Bill Kollar
Kris Richard
Rocky Seto
Jim Leavitt

are all guys I'd interview

I'm not familiar with most of those names...can you hook a playa up with a little info on them and why you like them?

Dude fights like a pussy though

Mike Singletary?

I'd interview Mark Carrier.....Bengals DB coach.

This.

Although I'd through Kevin Butler on that list, if nothing else than to make the Rooney's overpay.

:evil:

Jim Leavitt is intriguing with his longtime head coaching tenure on the resume.

I know nothing about his ability to be a defensive coordinator or not, though.

LMAO Houston is gonna piledrive some poor offensive lineman.

Ive been thinking the same thing. Pretty bad as a head coach but hasnt ever been a DC. Could be a good hire.

I'd really hate to switch back to the 4-3

Kevin Greene would be pretty bad ass IMO.

ROFL most certainly. Love that guy.

I really love how quickly he turned Bowman into a monster in coverage.

Singletary would be a high school coach, if not for his name and connections.

**** him.

Yeah, not a bad addition.

He's a LB coach. No more.

yea Mike Singletary is ****ing terrible what are you people smoking

Ed Donatell

Alaskan thunder****

He sucks ****ing ass.

JFC, this is 2013, not 1997.

He was a DB coach for the Ravens ...so he has experience in the 3-4.

Mark Carrier, a three-time Pro Bowl selection as an NFL safety, joined the Bengals on Feb. 13 of this year as defensive backs coach.*Carrier is entering his seventh year as an NFL position coach. He spent the last two seasons (2010-11) as defensive line coach for the New York Jets and was defensive backs coach for the Baltimore Ravens from 2006-09.“Mark is a great choice for us as he moves back to his old position, coaching the defensive secondary,” said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “He experienced success as a coach with two fine NFL defenses, and he will do very well with our group.”In 2011, Carrier’s defensive line helped the Jets finish fifth in the NFL in fewest yards allowed per game (312.1), fifth in fewest yards allowed per play (5.0) and seventh in fewest yards allowed per rushing play (3.9). In 2010, the Jets finished third in the NFL in fewest rushing yards allowed and third in fewest yards per rushing play.During Carrier’s term as defensive backs coach in Baltimore, the Ravens had the NFL’s second-most interceptions (93), with S Ed Reed performing as one of the league’s premier players. Reed earned Pro Bowl selections in each of his four years playing under Carrier, and in 2008, Reed was the only unanimous selection to the prestigious Associated Press All-Pro team.

Dick Jauron.

no to Mike Singletary lolol wow

Really like Ken Norton Jr. from Seattle if we go to the 4-3. I think he's done a great job at USC and Seattle.

But he played in Buddy Ryan's 4-3 and is coaching in Zimmer's 4-3.

Personally, I don't see him as a fit.

No Dick

Bill Cowher! Jon Gruden as OC.

John Pagano

Just throwing the name out there... think Dick Bumpas would make the move to the NFL? He's never coached anything on an NFL team before, not even as a position coach.

intradasting as he'll likely be available

Was he fired?

I think he will be

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

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.

Bob Slowik.

True, true. I've been drinking and and being optimistic again. ROFL

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.

Kirby Smart.

I'm very impressed with their front office and coaching staff because of this. Also jealous of Seattle's, even though Pete Carroll is a prick.

While I like his blitz concepts, he still prefers to play 2-gap in too many situations for me to fully endorse. If he stated in an interview that he was going to utilize more 1-gap bases or zone-blitz in base packages, I'd definitely be more intrigued.

Their defense would be so much stronger if they hadn't lost Cushing

LMAO

Pete Carroll is not in any way, shape or form, a "prick".

I love Carroll. Definitely agree with the post though. If we can get Heckert + Dorsey, even if either leave in 2-3 years, I feel they will have done a great job in providing players that can be effective long term via the draft.

Totally.

Ray Lewis.

Cleveland's defense hasn't been that bad considering the talent, considering the move from a 3-4 to a 4-3, and especially given how often the offense puts them in bad situations. Wouldn't like the Jauron hire because I don't want a 4-3, but he's not as bad as the stats may say. He's a decent DC with a good attacking style.

No thanks.

He's been around the league forever without ever finding any true success.

This. Do not want Jauron.

So the top three realistic candidates are?

Idk dude seems like an asshole. Especially with the whole leaving usc suspended from bowls thing

Winston Moss maybe

I'd say Winston Moss, but I guess he's an assistant head coach.

That was on Reggie Bush and former Chief Mike Garrett.

Do you honestly think that Carroll knew about and condoned Bush's family receiving $250k and a beach side rental?

Hell, even O.J got to keep his Heisman.

Darren Perry has been in both Pittsburgh and Green Bay but I'm not sure he is quite ready yet.

Do you think he's even remotely capable? It always seems like Green Bay's defense is their albatross.

True. Why is Kevin Green so popular? Without Mathews the Packers pass rush became weak.

It's perception vs reality. I have no clue but he coaches ILB's in Capers 34. IIRC he was mostly a 43 as a player. I know he hasn't necessarily interviewed all that well for HC openings and was passed by McKenzie in Oakland. Dorsey would have a good viewpoint to him and Perry.

Herring and Tomsula are much better in the fact they have more time in the 34 than a guy like Moss. Perry is too much of an unknown but throwing his name out there.

Greg Manusky is another that has experience in it. Under Phillips too. I just don't know about him either though
