We need also need to include hypnotherapy for the incumbent LB's to forget every trace of Joe Vitt :)

Or some kind of pill.

Oh wait, never mind!

As an old sales man I have always believed that it's not what you say it's how you say it. Paint a picture.

Nolan impresses the Hell out of me. He'll have some job offers to move up if he turns our LB'ers around this year, although I hope that he'll stay for a couple of years. I'm sure that's why he came here. Sometimes you have to start back at the bottom and work your way up.

Edit: Creative is the word that comes to mind to describe Nolan. Good teachers need to be creative.

Nolan has a reputation around the league as being one of the best LB coaches in the league. I think he will have a big impact on the success of our LB core for 2017.

As a position coach, specifically LBer coach, I'd challenge you to find a LB position coach who's developed, coached as many HOF LBers, college and pro, as Nolan has...

Nolan's hiring, along with Nielsen, caught the attention and has made the division rivals nervous - even prompting stories about same, links have been shared as well...

As far as Mora, it's more than the playoff futili6ty; it was also his lack of loyalty to his subordinate coaches in the press, lack of faith in the very players he selected for his team, making contract negotiations petty and personal often causing good loyal players to leave, his static style of coaching with particular failure to make adjustments among other criticisms...

That's absurd. One guy coached two NFL teams to the playoffs and another had 4 losing seasons being fired during his 4rth season. There's no comparison.

Some guys are good coordinators and terrible head coaches. look at Wade. I will give you that, but to try and talk **** on Mora vs Nolan, it isn't even close.
