So now there's a report that Mike Nolan was interested. I'd have been happy to get him back a a DC, he was no doubt a good defensive mind. Why would chip pass him up?

He knew how to slow down Peytonicus (2009 game at Indy, 2012 game vs. Denver as DC of Atlanta).....

And the other 15 games? Nolan is hyped for no reason. He is mediocre at best and extremely cautious

I can't believe we hired this bum over Nolan.Say what you want, but Nolan really helped turn our D around. Certainly better than this scrub.
If our DC experiement doens't work, Baalke and his ego need to go. I feel like they only hire people they can control; Harbaugh being the exception because they needed a big name winner to get the stadium built.
Originally posted by Jcool:You're absolutly right. Maybe I was thinking of Coach Sing. Nolan's defensive rankings while here were horrible. Maybe I was thinking of the players we accumulated under him. When he took over, our team hand no defensive talent.

TBH I probably would have prefered Nolan if I had to chose between the two based solely on the experience factor. With that said I am open minded enough to give O'Neil a chance though. Because I take solace in that Chip knows this will be his last shot to prove he can win as a head coach in the NFL so I know Chip made this selection barring that in mind.
We werent in the room during the interview so we don't know what was said. Clearly O'Neil was able to sell Chip on a plan for the defense though. Let's just hope the execution follows.
Originally posted by Sourball:Boy,how much pride would Nolan have had to swallow, to be Head Coach of this franchise, get fired, then come back several years later as a coordinator?
I couldn't do it, but then again, nobody has ever fired me and then offered me six figures to come back in a lesser capacity
