By the bi week if he hasn't gotten it right then 86 him and replace him with the water boy!
And even when they had DC Dom Capers, and won a SB, the Packers were dead last in NFL in total yards allowed, but yet No.1 in Takeaway-Turnovers...
Unfortunately two things happened while still under the MM regime:
1) the Dom Capers defense never improved and seem to get worse
2) McCarthy took way too long in finally stepping up to replace Capers, could this have been too
Much is talked about the rift between McCarthy vs Rodgers, but having/maintaining a whimpy defense also contributed in the
downfall of MM in Green Bay.
And goes with saying again.. i couldn't wait to get Marinelli outta here.
If he doesn't develop a good defense, mac will step in and make a change. Something Garrett could never do.
2014?I think the difference is Nolan will be held accountable for his defense where Rod was a mythological dinosaur who was admired by fellow septuagenarian Jerry Jones and echoed Jason Garrett's brilliant "just beat your guy" coaching philosophy.
I don't think Nolan is an elite DC by any means, but he will be coaching for his livelihood. This is his first coordinator job since 2014 and if it doesn't go well he is not likely to see another.
I think it's more about how the defense is playing. Mike zimmer is notorious for firing coordinators whose teams don't perform. Just hoping mac will be another.i wonder what the tight short leash would be, (have to be) if we are really in a Win Now mode, we cannot afford to wait -4 years down the road in a rebuild mode.
New coordinator, different issues, same mediocre team
He's been a position coach since then. Not out of coaching, just not coordinating a defense.2014?
Really...?
Maybe he and Aldon Smith can room together.
That's a long time to be outta coaching.
Offenses have changed alot since 2014.
Not so great.
Guess we better score, huh?
Yes. The high of Marinelli leaving has worn off and we're realizing Nolan is pretty mediocre.
It could be worse.
our Assistant Head Coach isn’t even a coach.
As I said numerous times out of all the coaching staff signings he was my least favorite.
Something about him just strikes me as meh. Hope I'm wrong
Then what is ol coach Joe Philbin?
Isn't he currently carrying the same title as
OL coach/" assistant head coach" too?
Anything is better than Marinelli at this point. I will take mediocre over Marinelli. If the defense can come up with some big plays we are going to beat a lot of teams. And the offense can score big in those games where his risk taking defense gives up the big plays.
edwards and Tomsula are the two best hires.
the LB coach is a GB reject that Mike brought over.
i don’t know how linguist was hired. He’s unknown.
Harris is another GB hire. Fired after the KC meltdown in the playoffs.
