Sanders Fired

[Bretsky]

I'm not interested in Nolan. No way to Nolan!

I'm on board with Nolan or Williams

If Nolan runs a 3-4, Im not sure I am on board with that.

Not on board for Williams. His scheme has been getting progressively less effective since he was head coach at Buffalo.

I'd hate Williams. I'd be indifferent on Nolan. I'm indifferent on Moss also, but I don't see these other two guys as that great. I'd rather take a chance on some of those assistants that JSO pointed out the other day.

I'd be fine with the assistants as well; for the most part I'll be content to happy as long as we don't hire from within

[pbmax]

Just re-reading some of the names available, a lot of Tampa 2 guys. Choosing one of them is not going to be a happy day for Al. You know they are rooting for press coverage guys.

It's possible to run 4-3 press coverage creatively, isn't it?

Moss did study under Haslett, which gives him both 3-4 experience and if I am not mistaken, 4-3 experience from his time in New Orleans. And Haslett would know blitzing from LeBeau. There are worse than Moss available. I can't say he is a lock for greatness, but his lineage isn't bad.

Bob, is that you?

Here it is on PFT....yes...it's true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike Nolan would be an awesome choice. But....they'll probably end up hiring Moss for the job if he doesn't get it in St Louis.

I believe I saw on ESPN that Moss is being brought back to St. Louis for a second interview.

Yes, but it can limit how much you can blitz the corners, but not everyone blitzes those guys.

The problem with alternatives is Harris. He is strictly bump and run, from Eagles to Packers. I don't think he could play short zone with run support. Of course, he is tough, its possible he is stubborn enough to adjust. Woodson can do it.

#1 - I'm on board with Bresky's picture.

#2 - I'm on board with running a 3-4. I've stayed away from the arguments of switching to a 3-4, but I think we are in PERFECT shape to make the switch. Jenkins & Kampman are both 3-4 DE types. Pickett is a NT. That or Jolly. Our LB's are NOT great 3-4 type LB's, but I think with Barnett & Hawk's athleticism, Bishop could move to a 3-4 MLB, but neither Poop or Chillar would fit.

My opinion. I've heard many ESPN radio stations agree with that statement as well. That is where a Menuluga or Curry would fit in NICELY.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I won't write off anybody really. It was Bob running the defense. You could be the best assistant coach in the game and look bad under a bad coordinator. If Moss were hired, I'd want to hear about his philosophy before making a rash judgement.

Three things I'm looking for in a DC.
1) 4/3 attack style scheme.
2) Leadership skills (this is what killed Bob).
3) Anybody not named Kurt Schottenheimer.

what does studied under mean ? Moss studied under Sanders too....which is what worried me
