Signed by Cowboys Mike Nolan is our new Defensive Coordinator

[Verdict]

I am more pleased seeing Marinelli leave than Garrett.

That makes two of us. Marinelli, the Special teams coach, and Witten too. They all need to go.

 

[Reid1boys]

I like it. He's a good X's and O's guy.

who the hell gets hired as a DC that isnt good at Xs and Os?

 

[Verdict]

Nolan is the guy who caused the stir by refusing to wear "officially licensed NFL gear" on the sidelines, preferring the Landry suit and tie.

He was referred to as the best dressed coach in the NFL.

Stephen is cleaning out the barn. Keep sanjay lal. Cull the rest of the old guard. I expect a lot of roster turnover. Times are a changing.

 

[_sturt_]

Have to admit, I was rooting for Marvin.

 

[Loso86]

Rod has no say...

Too much say. He likes his guys as wrll

 

[Corso]

I wonder if Nolan has his players sign an Effort Contract.

 

[trickblue]

love this hire

McCarthy i'm still coming around on

Really don't know what to think, although he did have 9 playoff appearances in 13 years with the Packers...

Guess we'll see...

and Jimmy and was a Cowboy for his final year as a player.

Im an old timer, and really like Mike Nolan's bloodlines, i.e. father Dick Nolan. His dad was on the sidelines as a Cowboy coach with Landry during the famed ice bowl. I think Dick played a few years with Landry with NY Giants and was a Cowboy assistant later.

 

[Don Corleone]

Our LBS better get ready to work. Im talking to you Jaylon.

He is too busy marketing his cheap sunglasses.

 

[bewp7]

one thing i notcied from checking out saints message boards and whatnot is that they seemed to be very high on nolan, saying he did fantastic work with their linebackers, this was a big loss for their team, he was the best defensive coach on the entire staff, etc. some even said they wish he was their dc instead of dennis allen...so that’s probably a good sign.

Have to admit, I was rooting for Marvin.

There would have been an investigation if he was hired as d coordinator. It would look like Jerry just brought him in to satisfy the Rooney rule with no intention of ever hiring him for head coach. But it is something Jerry is arrogant enough to do

 

[ksadler1]

Saints fans don't seem too happy about Nolan leaving, not like the Seahag fans were about Richard. Some Saints fans were even speculating about bringing Richard in. Poor *******s have no idea...haha

 

[fansince68]

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!

Im assuming that Richard has been kickED to the curb....
But yes, I became tired of his schemes and refusal to adjust despite the opposition walking us down the field.

Good hire.

Well, of course, the investigation would start and stop with Marvin saying, "When they decided on Mike, Mike offered me the job, and I accepted. Done."

I hear he does the more evolved pinky promise. Seems to work tho...

 

[conner01]

Man I’m already going crazy for the draft. I can’t wait till Nolan comes in the war room and tells Jerry “ give me the fattest DT guy left on the board”.

I suspect it’s gonna be defensive backs before fat boys
At 17 there is gonna be good cb and safety talent sitting there

 

[EST_1986]

I wonder if Nolan has his players sign an Effort Contract.

are those contracts now void? were in a world of trouble if we don't have our effort agreements in place

 

[bayeslife]

I think I’m actually more pumped for Nolan than McCarthy.
