The same Rex Ryan who inherited a Buffalo defense ranked 2nd in overall DVOA and ended up ranked 24th in overall DVOA when he was fired three years later?

A successful college DC from a major program under 50 years of age, preferably with prior experience in the NFL. Who that is, specifically, I don't need know.

NOT one of Andy's NFL buddies. Not someone over 60.

Someone who can scheme how to stop an offense like ours...

Hey I agree,

taking a 4-3 and trying to shove it into a 3-4 was a dumb idea.

But again, even after he ****ed it up they still STILL were 24th........ I'll take that shit to the super bowl with this offense.

That's an argument for not hiring him to be your Head Coach, or to hire a guy that's going to mess with something that was already working perfectly fine for you.

Both of them have beat the Pats.....so I guess there's that.

One did it with Mark Sanchez and so so pass rush.

Someone who loves the 4-3 with ALL OF THEIR HEART.

I just want an aggressive defense. Sucks to watch the other team go 8 minute drive to start the game. Shit or get off the pot. Force a turnover/sack or give up a quick TD. At least the other team isn’t hogging the ball.

Other thing is an aggressive defense would be good practice for the KC offense. Ravens and Patriots showed a good blueprint on slowing down the Chiefs offense. More practice against ultra aggressive schemes can only help the KC offense.

Guys, Venables is not leaving Clemson. He had no interest in returning to his alma mater, KSU, when Bill Snyder retired. He has a son on Clemson's team and another son in high school who will likely also sign with Clemson. So, just go ahead and cross Venables off the list for Chiefs DC.

Dick Lebeau

He's old enough to be Sutton's daddy. You sure you want an 81 yr old DC?

They probably already have their guy in mind. I am sure Andy had a plan when he fired Sutton.

so Clemson can pay more to him than the NFL’s Chiefs? Not buying that. The NFL Is a $24 BILLION operation. How much does Clemson do?

Reid likes to work with “his” coaches. Who has worked with him before besides Spags?

Probably.
