[Hawkeye0202]

How about this guy? He's only 32....groom him for your next DC for couple years and then HC.

I would love that. Who would be your secondary coach?

 

[Wood]

I would look at Ben Bloom. Did incredible job with LBs. But I not sure if he is fiery type coach. This defense responds better to in your face style coaching. Is one of fired HC a DC?

Lee ........he probably knows the entire defense as well ( maybe better ) Martinelli

 

[viman96]

I hope Lee stays in Dallas to be the LB coach or comes back after he retires to take the position. Be great to see him develop into a legit DC and then HC.

Let Lee work with Martinelli next year before taking over as DC.

thing is I have never heard Lee say he wants to continue as coach. And if he did I think its 50% chance its with Pitts because he is from that area and was steelers fan. Just exploring all possibilities.

Neither have I (lol)......but if there's a player on this team destined to be a coach, it's Lee. Hell, he's a better coach than a player right now.

He would be a good LB's coach, maybe DC.

 

[KingintheNorth]

If we lose Richard, the next DC should be Brent Venables or Jimmy Lake. With the league trying to infuse college offensive concepts you might want to get a jump on DC's who have experience defending it.

I love Sean Lee and think he will make a great coach one day BUT we have to stop anointing people. I'd love to see him go be a LB coach in college, then work his way to NFL LB coach or college DC, and then an NFL DC, similar to Mike Vrabel's path. You have to learn how to follow before you can learn how to lead.

 

[lukin2006]

What about reaching into the college ranks? Clemson DC?

 

[lukin2006]

Sean Lee is not retiring, he is playing somewhere next year, I hope it is in Dallas somehow.

 

[The Natural]

No.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Remember Jerry actually tried this with Dat Nguyen but he didn't have what it take.

but at 10 million when teams needs to resign: Tank, Dak (?) and Amari Cooper.

 

[John813]

I rather go Ben Bloom first.

and then when Lee retires ask him to be the LB coach.

 

[jazzcat22]

They still have Greg Jackson in the secondary.
He came in a few years ago and replaced Henderson. He made a difference even back then. But they still had Baker.
But he was replaced with Richard.

Not sure if Ray Horton is still available, but if so, he could be a possibility. Many on here, including myself wanted him on the staff before they brought in Richard. Heck both would have been fine.

 

[Sydla]

I hope he doesn't get a job and is back in Dallas next year as DC. Richard would be a pretty big loss IMO.
