Romeo Crennell if he is let go by Cleveland. If not either someone in the Philly or Baltimore defensive coaching staff.

Wade Phillips lus-un2:to really fix this deffense we need a

SAFETY

Help me understand why some of you want a coordinator that made a living with a 3-4 system. I see the names of Mike Nolan, Dick Le Beau, Wade Phillips, Romeo Crennel. To transform our defense to a 3-4 system will require a lot of changes of personnel, and that will take at least a couple of years.

Our offense is hitting stride right now, and we can't gamble that it will stay like this for many years to come. What we need is a coordinator that will make the most with what we have, and with a couple of moves, make the most of a similar scheme.

Dave McGinnis is a disciple of Buddy Ryan, he was the linebackers coach at the great Chicago defense, then he built a great defense in Arizona, and have worked now with for several years with the talented defensive duo of Jeff Fisher and Jim Schwartz. Just think about it, the titans have lost several players and have been able to quickly build one of the best young defenses in the league.

McGinnis will make Jon Vilma a star. Keith Bullocks had 5 interceptions last year in his system, in which the MIKE go back to help in zone coverage, allowing the safeties to go deep and avoid the big play. A very interesting combination of man and zone coverage. If you give a lot of importance of pressure, then consider this, if the guy coached the linebacker of the Monsters of Midway, then he may have an idea or two on the best ways to press the quarterback.

Finally, their running protection is very simple, it consists on the defensive ends containing the outside, and simple gap control, trying to keep everything in the middle.

McGinnis also has the experience of being a head coach with a talented unit, facing failure for the lack of capacity of the other unit. I think he can give one or two great pieces of advice to coach Payton.

One can only dream....

McGinnis as Lb's coach, lets get Bubby Ryan....We can have Buddy Ball down in the Big Easy. Get Rex and Rob Ryan to come in as Well.......Payton was in Chicago with Ryan, could be interesting, and he may sock on payton a little when he doesnt run the ball. We as fans are the winners, we run the ball, get great D, and get to see some sideline hummor....

I'd prefer Vilma making all of the calls on the field over Gibbs coming back next year.

Either Ryan brother, Mike Nolan, Wade Phillips, Marvin Lewis, Mike Singletary, any decent Jim Johnson disciple...

For some reason I don't want Romeo Crennel. I don't see his teams having physical attack in them and that's what we need. AGGRESSIVE

 

[keepoursaints]

Anyone that would rush more than 3 on a 3rd and 21 from within the own team's 20 yard line.

lus-un2:

Nice write up.

 

[Gin-Tilly]

I have to say that I luv the logic of guillermo. At this point i'd really enjoy seeing an agressive dfense that isn't being taken advantage of.

 

[GameBreaker]

McGinnis is definitely the ideal fit...but Schwartz is on his way to being the head honcho of his own team somewhere else and McGinnis will probably stay on and get promoted to DC.

If Jaguars clean house after there miserable season I would like to see us go after Jack Del Rio or Greg Williams.

I just hope whoever it is that SP interviews some guys and weighs his options as opposed to him getting some guy he knows.

In all, McDermott is the longest tenured defensive assistant coach under Jim Johnson.

rex or rob ryan...mike singletary..anyone but gibbs

 

[Bourbon]

Do any of you have any information that makes you think we really will get a new DC?

I wholeheartedly think we need one and I'm very disappointed in the defensive schemes that get trotted out week to week as well as the playcalling and substitution practices.

I don't think however that Payton will make the switch this year and I think Injuries is the reason he won't. The defense isn't embarrassing week to week anymore - they are just very average and at times well below average. IMO Payton stays with his guy another year and I for one think that is the wrong move if you want to win now.
