[over the mountain]

I dont know whether adding defensive asst/positional coaching positions before naming your DC is the right move or not.

But it does seem odd. I would think the DC would want to pick his own staff or at least have major imput ... maybe the DC is in house (Has or morris) just hasnt been named yet.

It makes me think Gruden intended on keeping haslett as the DC but when he got here people in the organization told him to wait and think about it bc 1)the fanbase could get pissed if he is retained as the DC or 2) allen or DS dont want him to be the DC or 3) a lil of both.

If morris or haslett is named the DC I wont like it. the defense under Has has been bad and the secondary under morris was our biggest weakness this past season.

i dont know what they are doing, it could work out or it couldnt ... but this is a strange way of doing things.

not going through the process of interviewing all the potential candidates and throwing ourselves at the first legit candidate to interview seems .... like the skins of old in not letting a FA leave without a signed contract.

now naming an "outside" linebacker coach?

havent named a DC?

i trust allen to an extent ...... but this has been an odd, almost backwards process .. when we were told they were going to go through the process thoroughly and properly and it is going to take some time.
