Riggo#44 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 So we'd look like this right now? DEs -- Sweat/Kerrigan/Young (most likely) DTs -- Allen/Payne/Ionnidis/Settle OLB -- Anderson and Bostic? MLB -- Holcomb? CBs -- Dunbar/Moreland/Morneau S -- Collins/Nicholson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillBill26 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Del Rio as DC is an awesome get. I hope it works out. We'd go from no leadership on defense, to 2 very qualified defensive guys. Man, when a Tampa Bay background isn't a prerequisite, look at all the improved candidates that are suddenly an option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Chasing Del Rio is a good sign IMO. Reading about Rivera he has some Gibbs like leadership qualities. One criticism I've had of both Shanny and Jay is not shooting for the fences with defensive coordinator hires. Gibbs would shoot for the fences regardless of his personal comfort level with said coordinators. Del Rio has some pedigree and has been a head coach. So I'd take Rivera as a dude who doesn't feel easily threatened ego wise or as to job security. I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86 Snyder Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Love this news. You want a tough, hard-nosed defense? Rivera + Del Rio will give you that and then some. The culture will be fixed. The offense appears to be in good hands with KOC and with these kind of leaders on board, he can stay focused on the X's and O's. Still need to see how the front office shakes out but I'm damn near excited. This is a MUCH better choice than Wilks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panninho Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I would absolutely love it. There is always risk involved with every coach but there are not many out there that would give me a better feeling. Finally a respectable DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You leave everything else at the front door when you enter the building. You may not particularly dig the guy by you personally but you put it aside for the greater good. And you sure as hell don’t hire for job security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrine Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 36 minutes ago, Spaceman Spiff said: Someone explain to me the concern about hiring a coach before hiring a GM. These two are going to have to be simpatico no matter what. Therefore, I don't see the big deal in hiring one before the other. You hire the GM first, he's got to get a coach who he can see eye to eye with. On the flip side, you tailor your GM search to match the philosophies and vision of the coach you just hired. This chicken before the egg stuff doesn't really seem to matter all that much, IMO. Because its usually very bad to hire the middle manager before you hire his boss, the director of marketing. Kind of seems then the middle manager is the director of marketing's boss then, as he cant be fired by him and despite "having to report to him" he doesnt really. Also, you know, theres this little thing where the important football coach should probably be hired by someone who understands football. Instead, he was hired by someone(Dan) who has shown he doesnt over the past 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
