Aaron Glenn has Ben an all excellent coach, Allen is the weak link. Would love to have Nolan as DC. Hoping Sean can see past loyalty here.

Really? The same Mike Nolan who last held a DC position in Atlanta, where he was in the bottom eight defenses all three years? The same Mike Nolan who is in Dallas right now, contributing greatly to a league wide, historically bad defense?

That same Mike Nolan? lol. I get the argument surrounding Dennis Allen needing to be evaluated, and quite possibly removed. Trust me, I get it..., but you don’t replace a bad DC with an inarguably worse DC. That makes little sense. Go get a new and upcoming coach like Travarias Robinson (Coach TRob) out of South Carolina. I’m biased though, I would prefer to move forward into the unknown that this constantly recycled coaching carousel similar to McCarthy/Nolan when the time comes to make moves.

Bottom line, moving away from Allen and into Nolan is a backwards move.

I'd pass on Nolan as DC.

Positional/LB coach? ... Yes I would.

At some point, we will need to get fresh and new innovative ideas on defense. Look at the DC for the Cardinals Vance Joseph for example. Not a lot of big names but they are scrappy & are creating turnovers.

They gave Russell hell last night.

Besides our defensive line coach, I'm not sure how you can call anyone an excellent coach on our defense. The results have not been there. Our secondary play has been crap for quite some time now.
