The Saints have hired their defensive line coach b/f they've even got a defensive coordinator. Isn't that unusual? Thoughts?

Yeah, it is.

Bout like Cleveland hiring Mangenius before hiring a GM.

Goofy, I'd say.

If you believe he is a Nolan guy, then it could mean Nolan has targeted NO. But Johnson has a pretty good rep, probably good enough to get him hired independent of his eventual coordinator.
