STC & DC Candidates (BOTH POSITIONS FILLED!) | Page 130

OnTheClock · 2024-11-25T09:30:00-08:00

Updating OP with candidates listed: DC Robert Saleh Jeff Ulbrich Jim Schwartz STC Darren Rizzi John Fassell -------------------------- I don't know many, if any, who don't feel like both Sorensen and Schneider need to be replaced. It's easy to call for a firing, but it's another thing to offer solutions/ideas -- I've got some of my own. Let's discuss. DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR My top two DC candidates are: Robert Saleh - many of our guys know him and love him. Jets defense has fallen apart without him. He knows what he's doing and would be a huge upgrade. Jim Schwartz - runs the wide nine and a great man scheme. Would mesh perfectly here. Cleveland may fire their HC meaning Schwartz could be available. SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR One ST coordinator I'd love to bring in is John Fassell from Dallas. Has a great unit on a bad team and has had great success a number of places. McCarthy ain't coming back and I think he could be available. Would be a huge upgrade over Schneider. Thoughts? And any other names you would throw out there?

People need to get off this. Shad Khan isn't even a practicing Muslim.

Arab connection?

Forget about it, everyone knew what I meant - he was just being difficult.

what do you mean "everyone"?!

Generalizing, I meant those who read my post.

I know bro, im just messing with you.

Sorenson is exploring his options before accepting.

He wants to reset the STC market.

#Bucs DL coach and run game coordinator Kacy Rodgers is interviewing today with #Packers coach Matt LaFleur for their open D-line position, sources say.

Rodgers' contract in Tampa is up and he's viewed as a top free agent assistant who will have a robust market.

Why tf did we not make any attempt at bringing in the #1 STC in the NFL? Why did we not look at rizzi?

I mean I need answers. It seems ridiculous if we really wanted to upgrade.

At this point I'm Tabor or bust. I'd be OK with the younger guys who interviewed if it meant no Sorensen.

Shhhh. You don't know. We held a lot of these interviews in secret. Unlike the other teams. Don't want to give away our hand. If and when Staley and Sorenson become our coordinators, I want you to feel assured that Kyle went through the process and interviewed ALL the top guys behind the scenes before settling on the real best candidates !

I was okay with firing Sorensen but they should have had a good idea that they would be able to sign whoever they were targeting as his replacement. This is a classic mistake that teams make. They often end up with whoever is left when the dust settles. I know they still want Saleh but he's in the running for at least 2 HC jobs.

This is where I'm at. I don't hate the thought of promoting some of the younger assistants for an opportunity. Id prefer that over just handing it to Sorenson.

With that said Tabor is my top choice since they didn't go after Fassel or Rizzi. Tabor is still a really good special teams coach with respect in the league. Id be happy with him.

It's been reported that Rizzi has offers from half a dozen teams and that he's still waiting on things to shake out with the other HC hires.

Rizzi has had one or two reported interviews so there's obviously a ton of stuff going on in the background that we're not privy to.

So far seems like Chicago is the favorite to get Rizzi

Brant Boyer from the Jets would be my next preferred candidate for special teams. In spite of the Jets crappiness he has run very good special teams units consistently. I have no idea what his contract status is though or if he even wants to leave New York but he worked under Saleh for several years.

A package of him and Saleh would be turning a frown upside down.

Remember when, according to Shannafans, every single player / assistant in the NFL wanted to play/coach under Kyle?

Shanaland is a helluva place.
