Nielsen takes Falcons DC job (1 Viewer)

[Saint Spud]

This really stinks.

 

[Saints 4 life]

Bye.

 

[JvilleJoe]

That hurts as he is gonna be a successful head coach one day soon. In addition, the dirty birds get a quality defensive coach who knows everything about the Saints!

Another bullet point on the list of reasons of why Allen is an absolute clown.

“co-DC”

 

[DavidM]

Of all the teams…

 

[TribuneUK]

Well, crap.

How so? A leader's job is to develop an understudy to move onto bigger roles.

Our only home grown coach walks to our biggest rival because of our joke of a head coach didn't give him an exclusive DC title.


Mannnnnnn.... People are going to be celebrating when Dennis is fired. I tell you now

He wouldn't be legally allowed to make a lateral move without permission from Saints. It's why fan blasted that Co-DC title, because it doesn't make sense and it doesn't stop Ryan from leaving while under contract.

Think we’ll keep Richard as DC?

Think he's gone too.

Well we're pretty likely to have a job opening fairly soon so maybe it'll time out for us.

So flip a coin over Nielsen or Richard. Hate to lose either, and maybe both.

Even if Allen had settled on one over the other, it would be a bad look for the team to block a move over titles if another opportunity allowed for playcalling duties.

He’s dead to me

DC with play calling responsibility is still a promotion and the Saints wouldn't have been able to block it according to Loomis. But in the end, he's just a D-line coach who was never able to develop 2 number 1 pick DEs. I'm not sure it's as big of as loss as some think.
