Hope it works out. BTW it seems like everyone out there is a former 49ers coach.

That's pretty sweet. He's been a solid defensive mind for a long time. I'm surprised he was out of coaching. Good hire, though. Hopefully it pays dividends.

I'm going to miss him on NFL Radio, but great news it finally took place.

Better lb. coach than we have had in a long, long time.

Saints hire Mike Nolan to coach LBs
 
That's the second guy we have on staff that has head coaching experience AND defensive coordinator experience. (Dennis Allen)

Didn't we try and bring him on board before? Seems like around the time we either hired, or fired Spags, that his name was mentioned.

I think we were blocked.

I'd like to see what he can do with Anthony, Ellerbe and Foster.

Danno 01-30-2017 05:47 PM

Re: Mike Nolan Hired as LB Coach!
 
Which begs the question....
will we be targeting a LB in round 1, or will we wait to see what he can do with what we have?

That depends on what happens in free agency. There's some pretty good defensive talent available. It will definitely have an affect on the draft strategy.

Re: Mike Nolan Hired as LB Coach!
 
I'd search high and low for a top tier LB (see Vilma) in Free Agency.

I never realized he's the son of Dick Nolan.

Third, Dan Campbell was an interim head coach for Miami in 2015

Nolan was the Chargers LB coach in 2015... Melvin Ingram had a career best 10.5 sacks that season. Melvin Ingram's a free agent. Just thinking out loud here.

+1. Melvin Ingram would make sense. I'd still want Reuben Foster at #11 (if he is still there). I'm loading up at the position.

Volume just got turned up on the intensity meter.

Tobias-Reiper 01-30-2017 09:50 PM

Re: Mike Nolan Hired as LB Coach!
 
Open mind an all of that, but Mike Nolan has bounced around a bit the last few years, each time taking a lesser role HC to DC to LB coach, including a stint in Atlanta as DC a couple seasons ago (or did y'all forget about that?) which wasn't anything extraordinary.

Re: Mike Nolan Hired as LB Coach!
 
Former Saints Head Coach Dick Nolan's son, Mike Nolan is grateful for the support...




And for you LSU Homers, Nolan coached the linebackers (1985-86) including guys like All-American Great Michael Brooks, Eric Hill,

Let me think about it Mike Nolan or Joe Vitt......uh what was the question again.

Re: Mike Nolan Hired as LB Coach!
 
Guys i have inside information on our selection at #11...we're picking Reuben Foster! I'm jk, but seriously...Mike Nolan liked both my tweets about Reuben Foster. Please let us get Foster. links below...






Crusader 01-31-2017 07:23 AM

Re: Mike Nolan Hired as LB Coach!
 
I was just gonna ask if he had coached and developed any good LBs an then I saw Sarik's last post about Lewis and Willis...

Re: Mike Nolan Hired as LB Coach!
 
Glad we got a quality coach for in my mind our weakest position group. We need talent and coaching to develop that talent!. Big positive.

RF stock will rise even further after his Pro Day. I have a suspicion he could be gone by #11 :(. Hopefully I'm wrong.

We are getting a new special teams coach so that shouldn't be a problem. :p
