Yeah I saw that....even though he runs a 3-4...he is just as much of a PR nightmare as his brother & GW. We really don't need that again. If their going to go with someone proven in the league in 3-4...I'd rather it be a more humble leader like Crennel.

But I wouldn't be opposed to getting a college guy like the DC from Georgia. Now that I think about it a up & coming college guy might be what we need. Bring that college type excitement to the team and get them fired up. We do have some talented young guys that might need that type of coach.

I don't think the college guy works as a HC per say. After about a yr or 2 players seem to tune the guy out but as a DC or OC it seems to work better. IMO. Because their focused on one facet of the game instead of managing the whole team.

Those would be good candidates.

(1) Is he affordable?

(2) Is he an effective communicator?

(3) Is he knowledgeable about proper, effective tackling?

(4) Is he familiar with secondary coverage skills?

I can't imagine any DC not proficient in 2 thru 4.

Makes sense. Why else would SP say they are not in any rush to hire someone when the situation says differently?
