Did he ever come out and say that? I mean he's been 3-4 since the 80s and a bunch teams ran that style back then. Honestly, 3-4 vs 4-3 don't matter, you reduce an end in a 3-4 and you have a 4-3. No one stays in the same alignment week in week out, you have 2 gap 3-4 and 1 gap 3-4s, you have one gap 4-3 and 4-3 that also two gap. I'm not really sure what a 4-3 player is vs a 3-4 player. These are antiquated notions if you ask me. To me, Bill has been multiple, he does what it takes to win.

Isn't the Seahawks current base some sort of 4-3 under with 3-4 concepts mixed in?

One guy I'm curious to why he hasn't gotten more attention as a future NFL coordinator is Jeff Casteel. His 3-3-5 at WVU and now Arizona is supposedly a big difference in why Rich Rod has succeeded vs failed at different stops and its supposedly very good at stopping modern spread offenses.

Then again by FEI Arizona finished 27th in the nation in defensive efficiency good for 6th best in their conference.

I think a year or so ago Seattle was running similar with their "bandit" package where they had 3 safeties on the field. Dunno if they still use that.

 

[VeryGooster]

The part about their war room and Kam Chancellor was really interesting.

 

[slabrock]

Yes Atlanta, wait for Quinn. Stay the fuck away from Austin.

 

[Futurevoid]

Truthful, but it's the sort of thing the New York will probably blow up into something huge when really it's not.

Also admitted that Kam Chancellor is someone that they were split on from a scouting perspective. Some in the room were higher on him than others.

I don't think I can remember the last time Reese was that open with is assessment of players, etc. I liked it!

Maybe Atlanta is gonna comb through fictitious football head coaches?

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Would much prefer Denver keep Pot Roast, stay away Oakland!

 

[The Artful Dodger]

I'd probably keep Smith. He's good on pass rushing downs and solid vet in the locker room. Pretty cheap contract too.

Actually I'd poach Julius Thomas and Pot Roast from the Broncos FA list. Thomas is from California and probably wants back in California.

Restore The...um...yeah...Go Raiders!

Dennis Allen interviewing for Niners DC job?

Wow, crazy (and kinda sad) if true.

Absolutely, the Seahawks 2 gap their 5 tech a lot from what I've read, Red Bryant was the guy more often than not.

So Fangio out?

 

[Bacon]

He also said that he thought the Bradshaw non fumble in the 2011 championship game was a clear fumble in his eyes. Very candid interview.

 

[Mackenzie 92]

So Fangio out?

Out of running as HC apparently, so I doubt he would stay on, but who knows. Talk of Gase and Allen teaming up due to their Broncos connection and Allen living in the area.

 

[Mrbob]

Dennis Allen interviewing for Niners DC job?

Wow, crazy (and kinda sad) if true.

So the Niners are going to hire a DC before a head coach? Must have a back door deal done. Did Gase get hired?

Though the recent rumor was Allen and Shanahan were coming to Chicago with John Fox.

Yeah still rumors and speculation.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

McCullers will just pick up the guard and throw him at the quarterback. Specialist? No. Special? Yes.

What the Steelers do in fa and the draft should be pretty telling.

I think the D can be special if they just use what they have. Shamarko not on the field is a travesty.

Oakland Raiders now have hired HC Jack Del Rio, as @mortreport reported they would.

Official.

Jacksonville will interview Doug Marrone for OC opening. I think I might be ok with this if it happens.

lol his fall from grace was quick.

Wait, he opted out of his head coach position, only to become the OC of the Jaguars?

I can't even fathom how much of an L this is.

 

[Draxal]

He was going to get fired anyway, new ownership group new coach.

It's rough, but true. Just gotta accept the facts.

Yeah, pretty sure Ray Lewis has more football knowledge in his thumb than you and I do in our entire bodies combined. Can't take ya seriously with such a bold and silly claim.

 

[abolisher6812]

People are laughing at the Jaguars, but they are not far away from being a playoff team.
All they need is HB, TE, LT, LG, RT, MLB, OLB, CB and a FS.

narag, spin, you guys got a hell of a king over there at colts-gaf!

Feels weird not being a part of the head coaching carousal....even though we should be

4-3 under, cover 3. With a lot of nickel.

Isn't that Tom Coughlin?

Jeff Legwold @Jeff_Legwold · 1m 1 minute ago

This from @MrKnighton2u on Jack Del Rio a week ago: "He a genius ... he knows what's coming so we know what's coming.''

Might as well make it official that the Raiders will be serving Pot Roast with Jelly, and a side of Mack n' Moore next season.

Every team needs to find their BOB

 

[Coldnoodle]

Marvin Lewis is still here.

 

[Mrbob]

9-7 record, no playoffs. The offensive Lovie Smith.

 

[Fox318]

Marvin Lewis is still here.

I think Paul Brown has more to do with the Bengals failure than any single coach or player.

 

[WesternHeretic]

I'm good with what we have. No thanks. Tell Ashton I said hi.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Yeah, pretty sure Ray Lewis has more football knowledge in his thumb than you and I do in our entire bodies combined. Can't take ya seriously with such a bold and silly claim.

Doesn't make him qualified to be a NFL analyst. And Oakland didn't do too bad the next season...not counting that SB loss of course!

 

[MechDX]

9-7 record, no playoffs. The offensive Lovie Smith.

2-14 last year and 4 starting QBs later we are 9-7.

Perspective. Once he gets a legit starting QB he is going to run rough shot over this league.

 

[Futurevoid]

Coughlin sort of opened the door for Pugh to move inside.

"He's a right tackle until something better comes along"

Says they need help on the offensive line for sure. Echoing Mara and Reese.

 

[Himynameischris]

2-14 last year and 4 starting QBs later we are 9-7.

We went 11-5 with Sparano....look how that turned out

Panthers will give you a second round pick and Brenton Bersin to take Mike Shula off our hands.

He's the son of the most successful coach in your history, surely that counts for something!

 

[Draxal]

Pretty much what Flaherty said 3 months ago.

Pretty much everybody thought Martin was a super version of Pugh, and look how Martin's doing at guard now.

He was with us back in the early 90s, no thanks, that apple fell far from the tree.


Also Del Rio to Raiders.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Del Rio is rumored to have a 4 year deal.

 

[Furyous]

What part about Kam Chancellor and their war room?

By the way, I'm pissed the Cards lost our DC.

What are your (everyone in this thread's) predictions on how the rest of the coaching vacancies pan out?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

pulled this from that Ray Lewis thread:

I like how the Titans and Rams are back to back on this chart for 03 and 04 respectively, and yet Jeff Fisher's seat is never even warm. And Marvin Lewis constantly gets shit on and calls to be fired.

 

[jmdajr]

People are laughing at the Jaguars, but they are not far away from being a playoff team.

Only 3 or 4 drafts away!

 

[MRSA]

So who else should the Raiders poach?

Reggie will need another vet CB, Turdell Brown wasn't so bad towards the end of the season, maybe if he comes back for cheap.

Desperately need a MLB, who's available?

Texans did their part helping Bengals set records!
