We don't have the personnel on defense to run a Crennel scheme. Certainly great strides could me made to match our roster to Crennel's defense should we decide to go in that direction, but it would be quite a significant change and might do more harm than good. At least in the short term anyway. I'd rather try to find a new DC that still uses a 4-3, still employs the cornerbacks in press coverage, still keeps the safeties in cover 2... but is a tad more aggressive and much more unpredictable with the front 7.

good call Dean!

Martz is out as 49ers offensive coach too

[sheepshead]

Yep D2, thats the only place I saw that call!

On a side note, I'm very pleased Minn made the playoffs to extend the reign of one Brad Childress.

Short term pain for long term relief.

At least we didn't extend our guy.

Anyone think the Jets will land Bill Cowher? It sounds like they will do whatever it takes to get him to come to NY.

Yes, because he has 2 daughters living in the NY area and the Jets will give him GM power.

mangini and marenelli are both out of work this morning

I visited a Jets website last night and I saw all too few
kind words said about Mangini. Seems he calls out
players for anything at meetings and other sorts of gory
doings.

Didn't sound like a scene any Packer player would care to
spend much time in, IMO. Those NY area
people are tough-sounding.

So I was curious about Mangini today,
Now we know.

Wonder who would make a good d-coordinator here in GB...

Winston Moss?

Yet. I've already written my Childress fan letter to Zigi Wilf. I signed it "Rastak" and used his Minneapolis address. I promised to buy season tickets for a five year extension.

You don't need to thank me. Really, it was the least I could do. :P

Thanks for using the wrong city as my address!

If I had used your correct address they'd have already known you have season tickets. Then my promise wouldn't have helped!

Ah yes, I do see the logic now.

He's already turned down the Browns, and it sounds like he means it when he says he doesn't want to coach in 2009. 2010, though, might be another story.

There's a lesson in all this.

If you are coaching a team with high expectations and the owner and fans assume the club is headed for the play-offs, start losing early.

Mangenius and the Rat went in the toilet in December. McCarthy started his slide in early November.

Get ugly early, don't wait until late, they'll chop off yer head.
