The No. 1 pick as DC per article by Fansided

[Kwyn]

1
MARVIN LEWIS
DC Arizona State

The Cowboys only interviewed one candidate other than McCarthy for their head coaching job, and that was Lewis, who was let go by the Cincinnati Bengals after a 15-year stint. Lewis, the mastermind of the 2000 Ravens defense, has linked up with his buddy Herm Edwards at Arizona State after the NFL exiled him. While it is fair to question Lewis‘ chops as a head coach, his defensive mind remains as sharp as ever, and Jones could try to bring him in as the defensive coordinator if he wants a quick fix.The biggest problem in Dallas, in tandem with poor talent on the defensive side of the ball, is a lack of leadership and cohesion. Considering Lewis’ experience in the NFL, he should be able to get this fractured bunch playing as one. While he hasn’t had a ton of opportunities to showcase his work in Tempe, the Sun Devils are playing the same aggressive style of defense Lewis perfected in Baltimore and installed in Cincinnati. If worse comes to worst and the Cowboys decided to fire McCarthy, they will have a perfect candidate ready to step in and lead this team in Lewis.

I would be fine with Marvin Lewis. He’s a good coach.

 

[Sarge]

Marvin Lewis? Ya, um no.

 

[817Gill]

If I'm Marvin Lewis and I get a call from Jerry I would hang up. He is in a great spot with ASU and has no good reason to leave.

How could DC in college be better than DC in the NFL? It’s not even a major school that’ll get to a Top-4 bowl game, they’ll at best be 8-9 win team with solid bowl victories.

He coaches well there he’s a nice story in the PAC-12, he coaches well here he has a shot to be an NFL head coach again which is what he wants.

I’ll be much more excited about the names of new Dallas defenders than the coordinator.

Hmmm...normally I would agree...but on this one...I think I would take him. Always thought he was over his head as a HC...but when he was with the Ravens...I remember that 2000 Ravens team was pretty good.

That defense had six 1st round picks and two 2nd round picks. Three of them are in the hall of fame.

I don't see Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Rod Woodson on our roster. Those guys were stars before and after Lewis.

Perhaps it was more about the Jimmies and Joes than the X and Os?

 

[quickccc]

I'd love Orlondo Steinauer. I posted a thread about him!

Is he the Wisconsin defensive coordinator they keep yacking about in the media?

 

[FaSho]

Keep an eye on Zimmer too, you never know.

Say no. The fact that Herman Edwards is on his staff indicates he would be a piss poor hire.

Marv Lewis defense went from 2 > 8 > 16 > 30 in points allowed his last 4 years in Cincy.

I'm saying the game has passed him by but I'd sure rather go another direction with a guy who runs more modern concepts like a 3-3-5 one gap system. See Matt Campbell of Iowa State.

 

[fivetwos]

Lewis is an excellent coordinator and we would be lucky to have him.

He probably should have gotten the HC job over MM in hindsight.

Want to consider him a retread and want newer blood? Sure, that's fine....but don't tell me Lewis is a crap DC because he didn't win as HC w the Bengals.

He coached them through their by far best run in franchise history.....and the Ravens defense wasn't all that bad either.

I would like to see a younger mother f@#$%ker come in with HIS game plan on how to turn things around. A young mother f@#$%^ker who understands today's athlete, but at the same time won't take any s!@#$%^t from candy players. A young mother f@#$%^ker who will demand that the draft starts on his side of the ball, anything less than that will not be tolerated and JJ can stick this job up your ***! This is for the most part and young man's league and this organization needs to start loading up on young intelligent coaches, not the old out of touch ones that teach the same old plays every mother f#$%^ker has seen since this league started.

 

[Mookie]

What about Marvin? But not Lewis, Harrison. We could use a murderer to intimidate our young players.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The same Marvin Lewis interviewing for HC jobs would settle for DC in Dallas?

 

[stilltheguru]

More balls than garrett ever showed. B b but he did it behind closed doors yall want somebody to address Jaylons bs. There you go

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Dan Quinns defense was horrible in Atlanta.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Is he the Wisconsin defensive coordinator they keep yacking about in the media?

No, he coaches the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL. Great Defencive coach.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Where? I'd like to read it.

The same person who told me about Joe Brady 4 years ago told me about Steinauer being a defensive guru a few weeks back.

[Silver Surfer]

Why does none of these get me very excited ????????????

Because..... you're not into dudes?

[KingintheNorth]

Is he the Wisconsin defensive coordinator they keep yacking about in the media?

You're talking about Jim Leonhard, which would also be an inspired choice.
