Reaganaut Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I heard an interview with DG on the Sports Reporters after the season ended and he said he was lobbying for Emmitt as the DC for next year. DG's got a lot of pull upstairs. I bet he is the first person on the interview circuit as soon as Tampa picks Marvin Lewis as its new coach.

Rat_Boy Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Emmitt Thomas JUST took a new job, why would he want to take ANOTHER one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaganaut Posted February 6, 2002 Author Share Posted February 6, 2002 OOps. Where did Thomas sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat_Boy Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 If memory serves, he signed as the Falcons DB coach. It could be another team, but I am sure it's as a DB coach. From what I read, he doesn't want to do more than be a positional coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 His unsuccessful stint in Minnesota was the result of having very little to work with. Thomas' defensive scheme is predicated on the CB's ability to play man defense, something the Vikings had a lot of trouble with last year.<br /><br />If he's actually said he's happy as a position coach then he's definitely NOT the man for the job.
