Just got this text

Just got a text from KTAR 620 saying Davis will be the new DC.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Well, certainly isn't Butler. I guess we'll have to trust Whis on this one.

Truthfully, I don't squat about Davis or Butler. Posters, please enlighten me.

Cards Linebackers coach. Used to be the defensive coordinator for the 49ers.

The title of the thread..."KTAR sources reporting Davis will be the new DC". I signed up with KTAR Sports text alerts a while back.

On the surface, I don't like it. I know Whis brought him in, but he was part of Clancy's defense too. I know that's knee-jerk and a little unfair, so I won't bash the hiring. I want to know a hell of a lot more about the guy. I've heard his history isn't sparkling, but that he had a lot of mitigating factors. What kind of defense will he run? What will it mean for the players we have? Who do we need to re-sign and who do we need to let go? What positions do we need to focus on signing in FA and drafting?

One thing we know for sure: this will be an exciting offseson.

Ooh, he's worked under Lebeau...muhahahahaha!

I have a feeling Haley leaving for KC had something to do with the firing of Clancy. I wonder if Whiz was worried that Haley would hire Davis as his DC. Hmmmm

How funny would it be if Pendy was the new DC for the Chiefs?

 

[lauraw]

I GOTTA BELIEVE WE'LL RUN A 3-4-thats what whizz wants and im sure it was discussed prior to davis being hired for the job. thank you for the info, burg72

Extremely!

 

[Unsterblich856]

Don't know much about him, so all I can say is I hope it is a step forward and not back.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Not a real impact pick IMO. Hopefully he is better than CP.

On the plus side, he certainly knows the personel. You gotta trust Whiz . He has taken us where no man ever has!

I agree.

Man, I hope it's a 3-4. I just think you can do so much more, have such better flexibility, out of that defense. And hopefully it's not a hybrid defense either.

I don't like where this is all going, seems like the super bowl is being used to advance the coach's agenda.

Not to mention the first 14pt quarter will bring out the media.

 

[Duckjake]

I was asking about Davis last season. The linebacker play to me had greatly improved and so I was trying to check him out.

Based on the improvement in Pace and Hayes and that Davis was on board when Atlanta converted to the 3-4 I like the selection.

 

[bg7brd]

We all had questions about Whiz when he was hired too. That seems to have worked out.

 

[Burg72]

I was really hoping for Butler but at least Davis has been here and the defense should be able to build upon how they ended the year (except for the last 88 yards). I wonder if this hire is something that Dansby would consider during contract negotiations with him more than likely getting the play calling duties, assuming they do go with a 3-4 defense, and his relationship with Davis?

That statement in itself should be looked at an re-thought.

IMO, I think the guy that took the team to the Superbowl should be allowed to advance his agenda.....once again JMHO
