Signed by Cowboys Mike Nolan is our new Defensive Coordinator

Mike Lombardi said they’re probably bringing him in as LB coach from 105.3 the fan today.

I've had some time to ruminate on this hire, and I like it less and less.

On one hand, I welcome the change to the defensive alignment and that we will likely finally turn over the ball. It'll be fun seeing an aggressive defense for a change.

On the other hand, Nolan has proven to be a pretty mediocre DC.

My hope is that either we put a ton of resources into the D and make it failsafe, or that he's suddenly see the light the last couple years in NO.

In any case, I felt DC was extremely important regardless of the head coach, and I think we missed the mark on this one.

Where do you guys keep getting this "aggressive" defense thing? Is it wishful thinking? Nolan is the exact OPPOSITE of aggressive. As a DC, his teams generate no turnovers and give up a buttload of yards.
You guys will see..

LOL ok.
Look at his defensive ranks as a DC, they're horrible. He was the Commanders DC for 3 years.. I remember watching his defenses. But whatever floats your boat.. tell yourself what you need to sleep better at night.

of all the coaching hires, this one is the one i'm least confident in
