Very true. I think we all long ago came to the conclusion that Marcus Williams was trying to not get flagged for hitting a defenseless receiver.

84 other defensive coaches who failed here determined that was a lie

All of this talk about Nolan and how good he is. hmmm..., my guess is there is a reason why he hasn’t stuck with any team more than 2 or 3 years as a defensive coordinator. He’s been the defensive coordinator for 8 different NFL teams over a combined 14 years. Things like that don’t just happen randomly, there is a reason

Perhaps maybe his scheme gets old after a while or won’t let head coaches sh*t on him who knows. Either way he’s a hell of a linebackers coach though

In all truthiness, it very well could be his social engineering skills, or lack thereof. But, if there is one thing I know about the NFL as an industry, it’s that success is the panacea to everything, including interpersonal ability. And agreed, I’ve always thought he was a heckuva position coach also.

To be fair our secondary always starts slow.

Dennis Allen is alright as a DC, maybe even good but he's just not great. And his adjustments used to be what we liked about him. They are gone now. What happened to that guy?

He knows he won’t get canned, so why try too hard. Any other head coach would of fired his silly ass
