Signed by Cowboys Mike Nolan is our new Defensive Coordinator

[CWR]

We are definitely winning the Super Bowl.

Does this mean they are switching to a 3-4, know he ran that in the past, but looks like the Niners area a 4-3 team.

no can't imagine so. I bet they play some under looks though and are really aggressive. I also fully expect to get some size back inside and some big linebackers.

 

[sdfidaho]

he is old. 60 years old and has been in the league since the 80's. He worked for wade phillips defense when Charlie Waters was on Wade's staff...put it that way.

all of that experience is going to help here and I hope he hires a bunch of former coordinators to run positional groups. All the experience they can get will help.

After I asked I looked him up.
Surprised to see he is only 60

Horrible hire. He has been a colossal failure as a DC.

I was starting to come around on McCarthy, but this sours it.

He's coached both. More recently the 4-3. I am sure we are staying 4-3

60 and can probably still run a 4.3 40 lol

Yup, he's run multiple fronts. His father ran the flex. He can also coach a 4-6. He's been known to flip fronts in a game frequently based on the situation and personnel.

 

[CWR]

Just what we needed. Hopefully we can bring in a good DT as well. Also, I hope he can teach those damn CB’s and safeties to turn their heads! This is shaping up to be good. I’m excited for the change.

They can. Our secondary has long been a victim of trash coaching. Too many former (secondary players)Cowboys go on to have nice, lengthy careers once they leave this system.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it took 10 pages before someone named this hire "horrible".

Wow

 

[fansince68]

Now we need a Specials Team coach that knows how to coach.

Like make adjustments? Omg I wouldn't know wut to do.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

How the times have changed. Remember how last year some of us were raving on about Richard and now most of us want to kick him to the curb ? Adios Richard!

^^^^^ this ^^^^^

 

[Yoshimitsu]

Good news for LVE and J.Smith.

Remember Nolan had Willis and Bowman

I've never seen so many clueless corners in my life.

Hard to believe he came from Sherman, Thomas, Maxwell and Chancellor to this

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

I like it. Starting to feel better about the MM hire.

 

[texbumthelife]

Yes. Unfortunately, he does have a history of letting off the gas. Maybe he's learned from that in his most recent stops. There is no arguing the guy gets the most of his players and knows how to get them motivated. He's also gonna do his damndest to get to the QB.

No more putting your hand up to announce you are one of the blitzers on the rare occasion they actually bring the heat.

Wow

People on here doing what they do at the draft.

"Hey, I know that name!!! He's good!" LOL You know his name because he wanted to wear a suit! That's it.

 

[Chrispierce]

So we’ve got both men who passed on A.Rodgers in draft? Ok...

 

[JayFord]

Ok now I like this move!
