How Mike Pettine's career gamble transformed him from a high school coach into coach of the Cleveland Browns

BEREA, Ohio – " ...Twelve years ago, Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick sat in a room with Mike Pettine and begged him not to take the entry-level position he was offering.

Why would a successful high school football coach in his 30s with a wife and small kids leave the security of a good teaching job in suburban Philadelphia to work in the Ravens’ video-operations department?..."

Please click on the LINK above for this excellent story and The Green Bay Packers new DC Mike Pettine.

GO PACK GO !

To me one of the most critical stats is punts forced... Green Bay was 27th in forced punts. In other words, "3 and out" was not in the game plan.

We were 22nd in yds allowed (Minnesota #1) and 26th in pts...

Dom should have been fired years ago.

I'm encouraged by the Pettine hiring... no more abandoning the middle of the field - and holy fuck I hope we never see a 2-4 again!!! lol...

Over the TOP too much, ' blind as (Blank) ':

I'm a little surprised you haven't started the Fire Mark Murphy! thread yet.

Murphy and McCarty out with the Wash Water? Are they tied at the hip?

I have to hand it to Vincenzo, we have gotten a lot of run out of it. Though its title is not in the classic form. Maybe we can adopt a reformed thread title cannon.

Meanwhile, Rex has me all fired up for Pettine.

As a rookie I'm good with that, pbmax. And I guess the hind tit will just have to do.

I actually agree with wist on this one - 3rd down efficiency is pretty important. I'd also put Quarterback passer rating allowed up there, along with points allowed as among the most important defensive metrics.
GB has let pedestrian QB's have QB ratings over 100 too often lately...
Forcing more punts gives ARod more chances to work his magic, and less points given up by the D is an obvious part of the game.

[Fritz]

I too agree with Wist that the three-and-out was the rarest of rare occurrences with DC's defenses.

My own sense of Poutine is that we'll see instant and significant improvement in that defense, whether or not Guttykut drafts an OLB in the first round. Sorry, Tex. Too many years of guys in the back end throwing their hands up in confusion and frustration after some pedestrian wide receiver ends up catching the ball thirty yards downfield, no Packer defender within ten yards of him.

The more I marinate on Pettine, the more I wish we would have poached Fangio.

Fangio has really never put a bad defense on the field. Very impressive. When Pettine's defenses fell apart, they did so in Capers fashion. They were called complicated, lacking adjustment, and poorly tailored to the talent on the field. The league trends are to be simpler with an emphasis on reliably putting a hat-on-a-hat as Seattle assistants spread through the league. We seem to be going against the grain.

That's my fear too. He had some fearsome talent on the front end (especially in Buffalo) for pass rush and that Jets D was loaded.

He still produced some middling results although being that low for yardage and high for scoring does mean the team had some self inflicted wounds.

I hope he picked up a few things in Seattle. His Cleveland D was pretty bad.

Copied from somewhere else but Fangio has had bad defenses.

By his fourth and final year in Carolina as DC, his defense was 30th in the league in yards and 27th in points.

By his third and final year in Indy as DC, his defense was 29th in the league in yards and 31st in points.

By his fourth and final year in Houston as DC, his defense was 31st in yards and 32nd in points.

His only true outstanding years as a DC were with the 49ers, but look at the talent he had on those teams - he had Justin Smith, an at-worst Hall of Very Gooder, anchoring the defensive line, and then four!!! All-Pro LBs.

Looks like there’s a pattern. Players not schemes. The best schemes are done in by pedestrian players.
