Potential defensive coordinators - my suggestions

I’m thinking it has to be a big name DC with NFL experience.

Pagano
Del Rio
Lewis
Joseph

The Cardinals have so many holes they would need to hit every single pick right and every FA perfectly to have a chance at mediocrity.

Oh and they have a rookie NFL HC taking the helm again that runs a college offense. Great!!!

The Cardinals were 8-8 with a decent coach and Blaine Gabbert qbing virtually the same team.

Give me Jack Del Rio. Maybe Mike Nolan.

This. I think HC experience is essential for our next DC, considering KK is as much of a rookie HC as there can be coming from CFB. Just like it was with McCoy when we hired Wilks, even if it didn't work out at all. The line of thinking was to give Wilks someone with HC experience to support him. Same must be done for KK for a rather smooth transition.

IMO we do need an NFL experienced high quality DC. However, he doesn't need to have HC experience. That would be a plus but not really necessary. The key is that he is a really good NFL DC.

BEWARE:

Like I said in another post, Bill Davis said he's mutually(even though he had zero chance of being retained) leaving OSU to return to the NFL.

If Joey Porter wasn't such a hot head or they could calm his rear down he'd be a good OLB coach.

That's like asking a bear to not poo in the woods.

Interesting. Him and Schiano left saying the same thing (going to the NFL)

Gregg Williams -DC

Gregg Williams -DC

If Kitchens stays in Cleveland, wouldn’t Williams do the same???

I would think so

 

[gamebird98]

Maybe....but when Klownsberry falls on his face....Williams takes over.

Doubtful sine Williams was the HC. Why wouldn't they just keep it the same if that was the case? Of course, we are talking about the Browns.

A DC name to consider, Kris Richard of the Cowboys. Believe he's from Seattle line of defensive coaches and he spells his first name with a K.

 

[PACardsFan]

Cards Offense is going to suck again.

That means the defense will be on the field 80% of the time.

No way PP will be happy with that. This team is back to being the armpit of the NFL.

If Kitchens stays in Cleveland, wouldn’t Williams do the same???

Not necessarily. If Kitchens is given the HC job, Williams may feel snubbed & take his services elsewhere. We should be talking to him proactively.

Cowboys won’t let Richard go. They’ll do whatever is necessary to keep him.

Actually that’s not his agent

Looks like some of his clients are/were: Johnny Football (past and present, I think), Jordy Nelson, Andy Dalton, guy from the Bills that just retired, Jerod Mayo, Michael Bennett, etc...I can't see coaches on the website, though...

 

[RugbyMuffin]

There has to be sub-500 college coach with no NFL experience out there we can find. LOL.

I would say Chuck Pagano but he won't move the needle, and is too mediocre.

If that includes pushing out Rod Marinelli (current DC)...I am fine with that too.

He can be our Wade Phillips.

 

[gimpy]

Maybe Bama's DC? Think he might be available?

Chuck might have been a very vanilla HC, but his defense in Baltimore was lights out!

So was his brother's in San Diego...

They both coached attacking D's...

He would be an excellent complement to young HC!

 

[TheCardFan]

KK hiring was for Rosen and Fitz

DC hire will be for PP

 

[Zeno]

A lot of college assistants are paid better than NFL ones, especially at top 25 schools. So I doubt that would happen.

What about the Ryan brothers?

 

[az jam]

Whay about the Ryan brothers?

The Bidwill's would say, No Way!!!

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I'd bring them both in, if they could make peace with the Bidwill family...which I don't see happening. Just seeing Rex on TV, you can tell he holds lifelong grudges.
