And this guy has, “hardest worker, smartest guy in the room” alpha vibes. It’s so much better than a retread!
god damn he's so young
just 3 years ago he was a on field "quality control" guy for us
does a guy whos only been a d-backs coach in college for a few years and a few more years in the pros no how to set up a whole D and call plays and all that good stuff?
that would be my big question

honestly, I highly doubt it as well
It would be baffling to offer a guy like that, who really has no suitors, without doing more due dilligence and interviews.
I think it's fair to say that the report that Parker has been offered the job was likely an overreaction to something the blogger had heard. None of the Packers beat writers or other bloggers have verified it. That's not to say Parker isn't a favorite to get the job. I suspect MLF has had his fill of "experienced defensive coordinators" and is looking for someone with some new ideas.
Parker basically IS MiLF not so long ago. He toiled around with the Shannahans for a while and got a reputation as a pretty sharp kid. Became OC and then HC. Parker has toiled around the Fangio tree for a minute and has a reputation as a pretty sharp kid. I don't have a super strong opinion on him as I know so little. It could be a homerun hire. I had no idea who Evero was 3 years ago either.
Nobody has been hired. There have been interviews and that's it.
Yeah I guess if you frame it that way it's not that surprising. After all, this is only coordinator, not head coach. In a sense this is like going from QB coach to OC. Not uncommon or unexpected. I'm not saying this guy won't be great or aynthing like that, I have no clue! I would say that I would feel more comfortable with an unestablished young guy if they came up in an attacking like system like Baltimore where that is what they know and love. Culturally there is something that Baltimore is doing right that most other teams are not doing. I want to find a way to create that culture here - although I have no idea how.Quote:

This is part of why this hire would Suprise me. With that being said, I would be fine with the hire if they did their due diligence and intereviewed some well qualified guys as well (StaleyIMO doesn't count)
If you jump and hire this guy w/o talking to the others...to me...would be kinda crazy and irresponsible
Hire Warby Parker now!
Or interview five more guys to make Bretsky happy, then hire Warby Parker.
New blood. New ideas. Energy. Relatability. Supposedly also very smart. Very adaptable - knows the Fangio stuff AND other kinds of defenses.
Get on board, Bretsky, cuz The Flower doesn't seem to be reaching out to Jim Leonhard.

How do figure that? Cuz he’d DC’d two teams to shit defenses?Quote:

One thing that seems pretty clear, Jimmy doesn't want to stray far from home. He wanted the top job at Madison. Even with Illinois he hasn't strayed far. I think he would take it if MiLF called, but I am speculating (based on all the information I have gathered though).Quote:

He has/had an interview with the Bears for the DC spot.Quote:

Or - does da Bears interviewing him prove my pretend point about Barry being so awful as a DC??
