Hypothetical DC Change

[pbmax]

so...it's not time?

Nope.

[pbmax]

Is Fangio employed?

Yeah, he survived the Bears season unfortunately.

They could hire Aranda away from LSU for something just under what McCarthy makes I bet

[pbmax]

Lets Fire Dom, then rehire him, he is always good the first couple of years

The problem with this thread is that this is the best idea so far.

Packers probably have the guys inside for a 4-3. I've always thought Daniels was probably a more natural fit for a 4-3. Clark and Guion can play Nose. Perry could probably play DE. Not sure about Matthews. Jones also might be a more natural fit as a 4-3 DE. I'm just not sure he's a player no matter what scheme you use.

The Packers use a 4-3 under front with 3-4 personnel. Peppers, Matthews and Perry all play over the TE, the change here would be disrupting him and dropping into coverage.

Daniels DOES play 3 technique already. And Guion and Clark play 1 or 0 technique.

Changing to a 4-3 would not change the alignment much. One more guy might have hand in the dirt unless they go with a 2 point elephant.

The problem would be finding a power end (eg. Reggie White versus Datone Jones) and a true MLB. Thomas or Martinez could play weak side.

Here we sit 4 days later and nothing but silence from the Packer brass. Do they really feel no coaching changes are in order?

They are probably way to busy patting themselves on the back.

Maybe they do have someone in mind on the Atl or NE staffs and want to wait until after the SB.

Or more likely not... But a guy can dream.

Same coordinator, same players, dramatic difference. Before laying it all on dom think about the injury difference

Injuries always make a great excuse. The Patriots are in the SB without Gronkowski.

Unless everybody is changed i.e. McCarthy is gone, which isn't gonna happen, then nobody should go. As pbmax said in a roundabout way, none of the names mentioned is any better than what we have, and flexing between 3-4/4-3/elephant/whatever - as needed to compensate, we already have the master of that. What's with all the bullshit about getting rid of him?

The problem is not that Dom's defenses aren't great. The problem is that 3 times in 8 years the defense has given up 40+ points in a playoff game. When that happens, you don't even have a chance to win.

It's really not a bad idea cause we all know what he said is true

Exactly. Which is why they need to dump the complex stuff and play something they all can play from rote memory. Even if it can't shut down an elite defense, it might slow them down.

Wilde put out feelers for questions for today's PC and the best he said he got was "You have said you need a championship defense, what is preventing that?"

I sent he should follow up with this suggestion: "You have said the Defense needs to put its best players into a position to excel with subgroups, packages, etc. Does that blow up in your face when you get injuries, since the backups don't have the same strengths?"

it ain't happenin. if you heard MM's season ending presser he was pretty emphatic that Dom is secure. to paraphrase MM: he did a fantastic job under the conditions.

Why wouldn't they. Made the NFCC game with their best CB lost, best defensive player injured, 2nd CB injured, 3rd CB out. Not a bad showing overall.
