If Gruden wants Hazcrap to stay, then he should go too...

[quote=Brody81;1102138]If Gruden wants Hazcrap to stay, then he should go too...[/quote]

Was going to say the same thing, if he thinks this was a good job he is incompetent and needs to be fired too.

I hope he is just saying this publicly but knows for sure Snyder/Allen is already planning to fire him. Then hopefully Allen fires himself too.

[quote=diehardskin2982;1102059]LOL Chris Wilson just called Haz's defense a "Techmo Bowl" defense on Fox 5.[/quote]

In that case why didn't we run the two most effective plays?

Play 1: Noseguard stunts right to shoot the A Gap (Down then Right)

Play 2: ILB litterally runs right into back of Noseguard and their combined strength pancakes the Center which leads to a race to the QB between the ILB and Nose Guard

If A.J.Smith gets put in charge of personnel then the DC could very well be Wade Phillips......

My only complaint with Wade Phillips is that he's about 67. Obviously not going to be the long term answer.

Well. I would imagine he could go 3 years which is as long-term as you get for a top DC in this league. My biggest fear is he would do well and we would put him as head coach after 2.

As someone mentioned in another thread Dick LeBeau is 77 and still going strong. Phillips could have another 3-5 years left in him easy.

Re: New Defensive Coordinator 2015
 

Who can possibly see past three years when looking at a coaching horizon anyway? The only way in the NFL you earn a longer horizon than that is if you run deep into the playoffs.

Please, please, I beg us to have those kinds of problems.

Re: New Defensive Coordinator 2015
 

Things may be lining up nicely.

If Wade Phillips is hired, he could be a valuable mentor to our young HC as well as a top-notch DC.

The only thing that gives me pause is the fact that our FO made the decision. Other than that I think it's a great idea.

I guess all the Wade Phillips mancrushers didn't witness the Dallas debacle he nicely orchestrated. They ran through him like shit through a goose. That team quit on him worse than I have ever seen. Nice man have all the respect for him in the world and his dad but I had rather see someone else get a shot to make a name. Hiring him would be putting a band aid on a bullet wound. jmho

Wade Phillips as head coach is a different situation as Wade Phillips as DC. He definitely loses the team as a head coach, but I think his defenses generally play hard and consistent.

I don't get the angst from some. Sure if you interview a solid young DC candidate and he wows you then sign him, but if you get a shot at a proven coach who gives our defense a chance to excel than why not talk to him?

Re: New Defensive Coordinator 2015
 

I could care less about Phillips' HC resume (which isn't exactly terrible at 82-64), his track record as DC is what counts. The guy knows how to run a succesful defense.

Re: New Defensive Coordinator 2015
 

Well, I might as well get used to it, Wade Phillips will be the new DC. His son is the TE coach, AJ Smith and him are tight, he attended like 5 regular season. Bruce will hire him, that's the way Allen operates. I would be shocked if they hired someone else.

You make it sound like no other NFL team operates around familiarity. I am willing to bet that Bellicheck isn't hiring someone who no one on his staff knows. In fact I don't think any team operates that way. Coaching and staff chemistry, while not the only criteria is probably always apart of the evaluation.

Yeah, although his HC record doesn't matter, his HC record is better than I thought.

The only problem I see with adding Philips is that we should have made that move long ago.

Re: New Defensive Coordinator 2015
 

Can someone give me a breakdown of Phillips defense compared to Haslett's? I know he's a 3-4 guy too, but I believe has a different mentality to how to run it. If we stay with the 3-4 I want us to go out and get the type of NT that buffets lock their doors when they see him coming.

The TL;DR of this is that Wade does everything the exact opposite of Haslett.

I remember when he was DC here in Atlanta he was actually using lighter DE's up front because he emphasized shooting the gaps more than occupying blockers at the point of attack. Wonder how that would translate here. Regardless I'm for this move 110%

[I]Wade Phillips runs a 1 gap 3-4 scheme, whereas Jim Haslett runs a more traditional 2 gap scheme. In a traditional 2 gap scheme the NT and DE's will read their respective holes and react to the play as the play begins. This read-react causes the lineman to have to first think about the action, then react to it. So they have to be larger bodied men to offset the time it takes to react to the play in order to hold your ground so the offensive lineman can't get leverage on you.[/I]

And there it is.

Cofield might benefit more than anyone if we hire Philips. Wade likes a small, quick NT (think Jay Ratliff in his prime), which suits Cofield nicely.

We'll need much better corners to play the man style coverage that Wade prefers.

Assuming the article's analysis is good:

Will Perry Riley be a starting ILB next year? I want to read into this article that he won't be expected to cover the seam as much. Hopefully he won't be making other teams renegotiate their TE contracts at half time next year.

Robinson blitzes better than Riley though.

Will Henacho be back? Sounds like he might be a decent guy to play the run as mentioned in the article.

Please educate me if I'm assuming wrong.

That is all I ever wanted, a Defensive Coordinator that has been successful.
That is why I was upset when Skins first hired Haslett and always wanted him gone, he had an average to below average track record and reputation before he got here.
I prefer my Dline to play one gap attack style, not two gap read and react. With the size and strength of offensive lineman in the NFL, it is difficult and physically taxing to play two gap all the time. Our pass rush should improve with out blitzing all the time.
Not sure we should stay so committed to the 3-4 though. Mix it up more.

Re: New Defensive Coordinator 2015
 

I didn't see it posted, but we were denied permission to interview Jim Schwartz.

Re: New Defensive Coordinator 2015
 

i'd be good with WP. BIG upgrade at DC, but the hire won't fix the existing talent and injury problems we have. hopefully the team puts in more effort to getting a DB that can play and isn't hurt all the time.

I think he's a dynamite D-coordinator but a 4-3 guy. Were we really angling for him or is that just smoke?

Re: New Defensive Coordinator 2015
 

Of the guys we've interviewed/will:
(1) Ed Donatell
(2) Wade Phillips
(3) Eric Mangini

Would love Schwartzie but don't know that he's available

Re: New Defensive Coordinator 2015
 

[quote=Lotus;1103065]I think he's a dynamite D-coordinator but a 4-3 guy. Were we really angling for him or is that just smoke?[/quote]

Well, now that Rex is going to Buffalo, I wonder if he may be reconsidered. Schwartz is another one of those I wouldn't mind coming here.

Lots of good candidates:

- Wade Phillips
- Mangini
- Ken Norton, Jr.
- Schwartz
- Donatell

While I prefer Phillips for many reasons, I think I would be good with pretty much anyone on the list.
