I like Mike Nolan already

[erod]

Not entirely true, he was the DC for the Ravens in the mid 2000's and those defenses were really good but they also had Suggs, Reed, Lewis etc and had been a dominant defense before he arrived

Other than that I would agree.

His record in SF was abysmal and he hasn't really seemed to excel anywhere else but inheriting a pretty good situation in Baltimore

He went from WR coach to defensive coordinator after Marvin Lewis built the defense and then left for Washington, then Cincinnati.

I'd say that was Lewis' defense, not Nolan's. Kind of a Barry-Jimmy thing.

No argument there

He's never had a dominant defense as a coordinator or head coach.

So......we'll see.

93 Giants and 03-04 Ravens were top defenses.

So? You said he didn't have any top defenses. He did. He put together pretty good defensive years in Denver, Miami, and Atlanta too.

You can say what whatever you like but he was the DC of the Ravens in 03-04. Rex Ryan took over the next year and did more poorly.

This is all I got out of this thread.
