I sure hope Gruden learned his lesson about hiring cronies. If it walks like a duck.

I thought this was another bad Bruce Allen hire. Another Bad Bruce Allen Creation....

Hope to have some good interactions on here.....also I BS around on twitter with fellow Skins fans as well, follow me @JRouse84

so what about Rex Ryan as a DC? he is not going to get looked at as a HC anytime soon, but was a great 3-4 DC . . . thoughts? I'd be game myself

Nice. I got lucky enough to stand in his autograph line during training camp in 2005. Didn't get to talk on a personal level but I always looked up to him. He was coming into his own in 2007 and it was clear his best days were in front of him. He was just taken too soon. I miss him every time I see one of his crap replacements miss a tackle or give up a big play.

I wouldn't mind but the theme with our coaches is "Tampa North" which basically means Jay likes hiring guys he or our front office have worked with before, typically from TB. If he breaks the mold and hires a guy he's not familiar with, like Wade Phillips/etc. that would be great but I'm not holding my breath. I really don't want Greg Manusky though, so if we end up with him I won't be too happy. He needs a coordinator with a proven track record, or a position coach that learned under the master.

Such welcome news. I think they knew the fan base needed some hope quickly after that ending.

Keim is saying he is the guy to watch on staff.

I would personally like to go back to the 4-3, maybe we can get Wilks from Carolina, and sign KK Short in the process lol

I'm hoping that they'll just interview him as a courtesy to McC, but if he gets the job I feel like we'll be getting Barry 2.0. He has been fired multiple times as d-coordinator, idk how that track record doesn't speak for itself.

I don't want Rex Ryan just because I think he would be a distraction and sure don't want his brother, Potbelly Ryan.

My picks would be either Bradley or Phillips.

Does he want to be a DC? He has been a HC a while ,king of the hill to speak think he will take to playing second fiddle?
