Twitter: Mike Nolan one to look for as DC

Geez

McCarthy worked for him in SF so there is a connection.

Lewis, Nolan good choices for DC.

it would be great if Lewis was the dc and nolan was the linebackers coach. That would really be the start of a good staff

Yep, look towards the coaching trees. McAdoo as OC? Not exactly lighting me up.

I've never known Nolan to be a 4-3 scheme guy, and I think it's so key to stay in this vs totally re-routing and going thru years of adjustment for this defense.
I think it's very important to hit the ground running with minimum adjustment period with the current scheme, imo.

I'm getting way ahead of myself, but i'm already wondering who the DL and secondary coach will end up being.

I heard on NFL Network that Kellen Moore was basically part of the package McCarthy had to except.

Nolan fits right in

“It's because he looks for a certain type of player. He looks for guys who fit his scheme and have versatility to play multiple spots in multiple schemes. But he also looks for guys who do more than just one thing well.”

I think they will hit the ground running with a 3-4. Lee has played in a 3-4, I'm guessing they bring him back. Vander, Jaylon can be the ILB and nickel LBers. 7 defensive linemen contract expired this year, 5 lbers.. In a way I think Jerry knew what he wanted to do 2 years ago when GB let go of McCarthy.

Base package is basically nickel across the NFL now, for whatever that's worth. I don't really know much about Nolan as far as DC, but I don't see anyone really switching it up much. We just don't have the horses for it. A good DC should be able to adjust to it, I'd think. With smart FA and draft anyway

Expect Witten to be part of this staff. Just a feeling.

Rumor is he likes the plays he called. So I wouldnt be shocked if he wasn't ok with it even before his interview

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if McCarthy brought in his old buddy Ben McAdoo to coach TE's.

As TE coach I’m ok with that

I'd be shocked if Moore is not retained as OC. But pleasantly surprised if McCarthy is allowed to pick his own staff.
