Dismissed after only one season by the San Diego Chargers, Greg Manusky deserves another shot at coordinating his own defense.

The former Washington Redskins linebacker is a smart, young play-caller who crafts a hybrid 3-4 scheme built on strength and pressure.

Manusky constructed much of the current San Francisco 49ers defense and developed their physical dominance against the run.

He did not enjoy the same success in San Diego, where his Chargers unit often found it difficult to match opponents at the point of attack.

But Manusky is still a solid defensive coach, with plenty of ideas and is still refining his craft. He would be ideal for a team possessing hybrid personnel.

Best Landing Spot: Carolina Panthers

The Panthers have experimented with 3-4 fronts throughout the season and need defensive help.

Manusky would work well with head coach Ron Rivera and construct a unit able to handle both three and four man alignments.

Key words that don't compute: Smart, young, hybrid 3-4 built on strength and pressure.

I feel like Jay Gruden read that article and was sold on him after Joe Barry.
