Spagnuolo is looking good (Defense)

NYCSkin

SI.com's Don Banks seems to imply that Spag's might be the frontrunner now...

There's alot of defensive coordinators around the league that would look pretty damn good with a a front four that gets consistent pressure. I am not discrediting what "spags" has done, only making the point that a solid team is built from the line up on d and o alike. NY has an awesome defensive line...

Is this the same guy who had Corey Webster covering Randy Moss 1 on 1 in a must-throw do or die situation?

Good gameplan, but piss poor on the fly game calling. And we really want him to be our next HC?

I'm wary of the 'hot' candidate. Plus, being a great coordinator (who also had good talent) for a short period of time (or even an extended period of time) doesn't seem to necessarily translate into being a good head coach. There is so much administrative stuff, delegation, etc. that a head coach deals with. That is why when people say 'retread' as a slur I think it is foolish. The best prep for being a head coach is ... being a head coach. I hope Fassel gets the job ... I'm sure he learned from New York, his people are already here, he doesn't strike me as a flake (as Mariucci does - subjective of course), and with G. Williams gone I wish they would have just given him the job a couple of weeks ago. If he doesn't get the nod then it probably means Snyder bowed to perceived fan pressure and chased the sexy candidate instead - wrong move IMO.

If we draft a freaking monster DE then maybe we can duplicate the giants success no matter who is coaching

Spagnola = Ultra Conservative Offense and great Defense
Mooch + Blache = Balanced Offense and great Defense

I think the irony of this situation is that people don't realize is that Coughlin is an Offensive Coach. And while that itself doesn't prove that an offensive or defenisve HC is the best decision. It does endorse that balance or unstopable god-like ability on one of side of the ball is necessary to win a championship. And just so you know, the second one is extremely rare, with the last team displaying that quality being the Baltimore Ravens.

With that said I believe that hiring Spags would shift the balance to the defensive side of the ball, especially pairing him with Blache, who by the way was promised complete auntomony over the defense. While a guy like Mooch or Fassel along with Zorn would help bring balance to the Skins IMO.

That Guy

say what? fletcher is just as good as pierce. What he won't have is strahan/osi/tuck, which is why they won that game.

That Guy

the three hardest guys to find are franchise QB, franchise DE, and superstud WR.

while eli and plax aren't exactly brady and moss, they've nailed the pass rushing thing three times over, and it's REALLY working for them right now.

I don't think one game should make him our coach when the current staff is already in place for a WCO offensive type. spags wouldn't be terrible for a new guy, but i'd still prefer mooch (previous HCs tend to fare much better in this league).
