Kris Richard hired as Defensive Backs coach

[northerncowboynation]

Good hire. One of the better young secondary minds in football IMO. Again, not sure why Carroll, who has been Richard's greatest supporter all along, would allow Richard to be let go but willing to hope it's just our good fortune.

The rest of our hires have sucked but this one makes us better. Finally.

Alexander has coached several O-lines in multiple years to top 10 in the NFL in both pass and run blocking. He has a solid resume. You may think he sucks but plenty who take the time to read his bio would not

 

[northerncowboynation]

Two good hires and one with a bit to prove in Lal. Yeah the guy has a different name that probably bothers some folks, meh, what's in a name

 

[northerncowboynation]

And yes to Pete Metzelaars if we go there as TE coach

Alexander is a bit of an odd duck. He also plays concert piano and voted for Bernie Sanders. And no, that’s not an invitation to discuss politics. I just think it’s a strange set of attributes in a top OL coach.

Lal has a reputation as a good technical coach. It’s the moving around so much that gives me pause with him, but it may just be the luck of the draw. Indy wanted him back?

Well you support JG, does that make you a strange duck. It certainly makes you different . Nothing wrong with different. C'mon lets discuss Bernie lol

Anyone else intrigued to see if Richard can salvage anything out of Byron? I wonder if his height, length, and athleticism will work in a Sherman type role.

Great we need a good technical coach. He could teach DEZ how to use the entire route tree or at least show him the limbs and T Will how to catch with his hands. perhaps he'll bring a case of sticky gloves or stickum for both

I’m only different as fans go. A lot of people in the organization support Garrett. And Linehan, too, for that matter.

I was different when I said Zimmer can coach, too. And that Newman could still play. I’m used to being right. I mean, different. Oops.

 

[Ring6]

well, Flus had both perhaps he does as well. The entire job description hasn't been laid out

Flus was LB and passing game yes. This guy will probably be Secondary and Passing game, leaving opening at LB coach. Just a hunch.

Oh no, not the Byron thing. It's nearly as bad as the JG/JJ/Dak spiral of doom

I like the piano part. Really open up the creative side of the brain.

I've read it. I still don' t think he was a good hire. You and others simply saying (hoping) he's good does not qualify as proof that he is in fact good.

 

[Donut]

I've been high on him.

Maybe Horton Hears a Who as LB'er coach, shrugs shoulders. In the words of Billy Joel... you may be right, I may be crazy

True it doesn't any more than you saying he was a bad hire. We shall see, correct

 

[MRV52]

Please don't ruin the new hire by teaching him how to Clap here!!!!

We’re not just saying he’s good. We’re showing you who he’s coached, what they’ve accomplished, and sited sources the consider him the best OL in the game. Some as recently as 2016. On top of his longevity and AHC status.

He’s a good coach.

 

[KingintheNorth]

cited sources the consider him the best OL in the game

Please share those here.The "best" ? LOL.

He’s a good coach.

There were people who didn't like the Callahan hire either.
