I know Capers is a 3-4 guy. Can the same be said of Nolan & Pagano? Of the 3, I'd lean towards Pagano.

Some dislike Capers...but you may be crying.

Nolan is a 3-4 guy.

I saw that but he doesn't know Jack so I ignored it

Nolan because he wears a suit.

 

[The Kraken]

Chuck's younger brother John ran a very successful, very aggressive 34 scheme in San Diego as well and should be considered as well

Pagano never established a good defense in Indy...

 

[outcent13]

Pagano, his defenses in Baltimore were great. And I believe he did a better job in Indy than given credit for.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Dom Capers is still alive? LOL...

 

[cardsfanmd]

I’d be happy with any of them besides Capers. He is trash and the king of playing scared.

I like Pagano best from that list but all Baltimore defenses have been great for a long time. Who gets the credit?

Steve Bisciotti.

He had a terrible GM (Ryan Grigson) who made some horrible draft picks, which affected his teams.

Trying to replace Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis with someone like Bjoern Werner depleted that roster quickly.

Yup I said this before Arizona even hired a HC. John Pagano is a really brilliant guy and came with many exotic blitzes and such as well. All the players even the guys on the offensive end like Rivers were really close with him and loved him.

Chargers fans hated losing him.

 

[The Kraken]

John Harbaugh.

Never a DC, was a ST coordinator.

 

[Jasper]

Do any of these 3 have a connection with Kliff?

 

[iLLmatiC]

They said they would be hiring people with no connection to Kliff. They would hire them simply because of their experience and past success.

Which is fine as Kliff said he is working with Keim on the coaching candidates as Keim has many relationships in the NFL. Nothing wrong with that.

Chuck Pagano NFL DC 1 yr - Ravens

3/3

Based on these facts and Pagano’s limited DC experience, I’d lean toward Nolan first, then Capers, and lastly Pagano.

Agreed. So glad to be rid of Wilks.

 

[The Kraken]

Mike Nolan has more experience then Pagano, but his overall performance and the fact he is usually run out of town in 2 years (SEVEN DC jobs) should tell you all you need to know...that is why he is an LB coach now and was in his last job.
