Why would Pioli need to get players to fit Herm's system, when he's going to fire Herm in the next 5-7 days?

We're so bad on D right now it would be the perfect time to scrap the cover 2. And that means get rid of Herm!

Why on earth would anyone want to run the cover 2 as a base defense at this point in time? Why on earth would anyone allow Herm to dictate the defensive philosophy of the team?

There are alot of threads about 3-4 or 4-3, but why not the cover 2? Can Pioli get the right players that will work with Herm and Herms systems here to make the Tampa 2 successful? |

I disagree about the safeties. We don't need 2 safeties. We might get one late. We do need LB's though. Need new and better coaching on the Defense.

We won't be running the cover-2 or any variant as our base defense.

safety rashard Johnson from Alabama he is a playmaker much like ED Reed. We could get hi m between rounds 3-5.

But he did run a 3-4 in New York with Cottrell. Herm is not an X's and O's coach and he probably relies on his defensive coordinator to run whatever defense he wants anyway.
The Tampa 2 actually does work in the NFL, but you need a lot of creativity behind it. And I'm not convinced anyone has that creativity except Monte Kiffin. So I agree that they need to move away from the Cover 2. I know a 3-4 will lesser utilize Dorsey's talents, but I still think that's a direction we should move toward. |

Pioli will go into the interview process with Herm as open-minded as possible, but once he gets feedback from the coach, he will have ample evidence to show Clark that Herm isn't the right man for the job. We are paying Herm a courtesy by getting his version of the situation, which will also allow Scott a better understanding of what the players were asked to do. I expect Herm will be relieved of his duties fairly quick.

I don't see us running any kind of a cover 2 D. Herms Defense is a complete failure. I don't see why Herm even want's to be the coach of this team. It's not going to be his any longer regardless of wether he's here or not, no cover 2, the offense is Gailey's or something completely different. just doesn't make any sense. Other than to maybe save face in the hope he can get a future HC gig.
