Who would you want as the Saints' next defensive coordinator? - SaintsReport Community Forums

So like uhh... what does that have to do with this board? Spags was one of many favorites here.

You guys dont have a pass rush, the only time Spags ever had one was in NY with elite pass rushers. Mike Nolan had a top 10 D with 8 rookies I believe and they were one of the best last year on 3rd down.

Uhhh... the Rams ranked in the top half of the league in sacks the past two years. Also, you don't think Spags had any part with developing those elite pass rushers in New York? They are also still running the same system.

So im talkin about the fan base as a whole.

Mike Nolans D with 8 rookies was ranked 10 last season.

So you pick a thread out of a different forum and you then make a generalization that the Saints fan base as a whole wanted your defensive coordinator? One thread in on a different board doesn't speak for the whole Saints nation.

There's a video in the NFL forums up top with a Atlanta fan showing his support for his city and team. That's like me making a generalization that all Atlanta fans are fair weathered.

Mike Nolans D with 8 rookies was ranked 10 last season.

That's awesome. No one said your defense sucks. So I don't understand what your point is? [/quote]

What does this mean? I would expect you guys to be happy that you got a good DC but the statement was you didnt get the one you wanted.

Our organization got exactly who we wanted. Spags was our front office's target and we got him. As far as the fans are concerned, some got their first choice, some got their second. Some got their third. I know for damn sure I got my first choice. And unless you can poll the entire Saints nation, you're just making a blanket assumption.

Who cares who got who?

The Falcon fans are obviously happy with a 1 quarter look at their starting defense, let them be happy...

Ranked 10 in what? According to NFL.com, the 2011 Miami Dolphins defense was ranked 15 in total defense.

And 8 rookies on D? Jimmy Wilson was the only rookie active on the defense, all other rookies were playing offense.

Quotes from some Saints Fans

"Mike Nolan, no question. He is the best available, and he would work well with our current personnel."

"I was on the Mike Nolan bandwagon before the Saints hired GW and I'm still on the Mike Nolan bandwagon. "

"nolan but i'd be happy with either of your other choices, honestly "

"Before the mention of Nolan I was kinda leaning towards Del Rio. But now I think Nolan is the obvious heir apparent "

"Nolan first, than Spags. "

We hired Mike Nolan and than you guys got Spags the next best thing its no reason to act like he's not a great DC all of a sudden when you guys wanted him.

Are you telling us that ALL falcon fans wanted Nolan? That's pretty amazing... (in a Stepford Wives kinda way)

papz · 08-11-2012, 10:37 AM

Exactly. What's the whole point of this conversation anyways?

"Haha! Some Saints fans didn't get their first choice at DC"

You want a cookie?

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
