Sweet! Now we can get moving on personnel decisions. The fun off-season parts are about to start.

From the guy who says he doesn't pay attention to the draft...

Meh ...

Minnesota had "co-coordinators" (Zimmer/Patterson) for their defense in 2020/2021 - finished 17th and 24th respectfully.

I'd prefer they gave the title to one guy and let's geaux.

Never mind me, I'm just a couch coach

I agree to a certain extent but if Allen is still calling all the plays, it doesn't really matter how many co-DC's they name.

Pick one leader to represent the defense.
