Nolan, Bowles not candidates for DC job, but Pasqualoni is

:laugh1:

Overreact much? How is the guy a loser? Based on what exactly?

Over time, the units and squads and teams he coaches get progressively worse, if not much worse. That's a loser to me.

Watched his teams underachieve and get out-coached for 15 years. Watched Witten's worst season blocking with him as TE coach. Watched the linebackers for Dallas not even be able to cover fullbacks going out for passes in 2006. Watched him still think that rushing 3 guys against a rookie in John Skelton on 4th and 15 to win the game was a good idea.

We really might as well hire Campo at DC. Same guy, but at least Campo has more experience in the NFL.

One of the best things that could happen to us is for this loser to get hired by UConn...or coach the Eagles or Giants.

If Coach P is named the DC, all I can say is "oh boy". :bang2:

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Because Yakuza won't let go of his college days watching Syracuse.

I have a hard time letting go of Xmas day when the team made a great comeback with Stephen McGee and on 4th and 15 to win the game, this idiot decides to rush 3 guys against a lousy rookie QB in John Skelton.

I have a hard time letting go that back in 2006 when Romo was on fire, we were done in by our LB's who simply couldn't even cover slow Fullbacks catching passes out of the backfield....and guess who was the LB coach that year?

Show me where he's changed for the better and I'll change my mind. But because he hasn't and because he's an awful coach, regardless of what he's coaching, we need to avoid this guy like the plague.

If we would have blitzed and a WR beat Jenkins man-man that would have been even more stupid given Jenkins play this season. Our secondary let one of the best WR's in the game get open on 4th and 15 and that is Pasq fault?

 

[Gaede]

It's like having a poor man's Zimmer coach the defense

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Please No.

Pretty Please No

I don't care how anyone tries to sugar coat it, it would not be a good hire.

It would say that they could not get anyone else they wanted so they had to settle.

 

[AbeBeta]

Maybe it means he just couldnt find someone that he thought for sure was a better candidate, and decided to go with him 1yr and look again next yr.

That said, I dont think he's getting it.

He's got Paul in his pocket - it lets him be a little picky about the position and not rush to a decision. Paul P can coach a number of positions for us (TE, LB, and DL) so I think we really do want to make sure we retain him.

Paul knows the score. He's had two cracks at DC and hasn't had great performances. He likely knows it is 4th choice as our DC or back to position coaching.

If Buehler makes a kick, that game goes into OT. And can you name the last time our defense has stopped anyone when it came down to crunch time?

I have a hard time letting go that back in 2006 when Romo was on fire, we were done in by our LB's who simply couldn't even cover slow Fullbacks catching passes out of the backfield....and guess who was the LB coach that year?

Are you really blaming the fact that our LB corp, with the exception of Ware, has been old and slow for the past decade, on Paul?

His Ds in the NFL seem pretty consistent at creating turnovers. So yeah, I hope he doesn't change.

He has very little experience in the NFL.. but in 2008 in his first year as DC for the Dolphins they were like 5th best in the entire league.

At Syracuse, where he's spent the majority of his coaching career, he was HIGHLY successful.

Coached there from 1991 until 2004. 6-3 bowl record. His teams were consistently ranked in the top 25 in the nation. Only one losing season in 14 years as the coach there. 107-59-1 overall record.

What did they do after he left? Went 1-10. What have they done since? Not much at all.

He's been plenty successful. Doesn't seem like the resume of a loser at all.

 

[Idgit]

I dont think he's getting it, but if as a last resort he does I think he might fare a little better than people think.

I dont think anyone would ever confuse him with being great or a game changer, but with a full offseason to make scheme and personnel adjustments, he would almost assuredly improve on what he did in 8 games with Wade's playbook and players, some of whom clearly need to be upgraded.

I definitely dont think our season is ruined if he's the DC. Just means the offense has to be really good. And it definitely can be really good.

Of course it's not. He just finished what would work out to a 10-6 season with a team with a backup QB and without the benefit of a training camp. He'd be fine for a year, and having him keep the seat warm wouldn't be an indictment of Garrett. It'd be an admission that we're waiting on Capers to come free in GB.

Personally, that would bum me out, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. There aren't a lot of qualified options out there, and anybody that fits deserves more than one season to make their mark if they're not straight-up awful. I might prefer a season of the status quo with a clear top-notch coach coming in after to rolling the dice on an experienced coach off the street.

Basically, if it's not Fangio, and if nobody comes available once the HC carousel shakes out, I'd probably prefer Coach P to an outsider with a similar pedigree.

You can only cover WR's for so long in this game, particularly the Larry Fitzergald's of the world. And when you give a guy like Skelton, who had a lousy game up to then all of the time in the world, he's likely to find somebody.

And who says we need to blitz? Why can't we rush 4 guys?

Instead, the loser rushes 3...something I knew he was going to do well before they lined up ...and it bit him in the arse again.

He's been coaching for a long, long time and still makes the same dumb mistakes. I think the old definition for insanity is to do keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result. So maybe he's just insane.

Our players can't generate pressure blitzing or no. Except for Ware and Ratliff. So I don't know why you're indicting Paul P for the faults of the players.

1. We were still winning. We needed to make the stop against a bad, rookie QB. We had it on 4th and 15 and we only rush 3 guys. And our defense stopped plenty of teams in '07-'09.

2. This didn't have to do with 'slow LB's' it had to do with guys completely and utterly blowing assignments. Fullbacks like Mike Karney going out for simple swing passes and our LB's completely missing the assignment.

I could have been a good Cowboy DC back in 93 with all that talent we had.

Well that same group who couldn't stop anyone in 2010 was still there.

2. This didn't have to do with 'slow LB's' it had to do with guys completely and utterly blowing assignments. Fullbacks like Mike Karney going out for simple swing passes and our LB's completely missing the assignment.

Fine, then we've had mostly dumb players for the past decade.

I don't think you can blame the defensive philosophy if you just have guys blowing assignments all the time. It was a completely different look from what they had been running for 3 years under Wade, and making a huge change in philosophy like that in the middle of the season will lead to blown coverages.

We have alot of dumb players it seems, and our safety play was atrocious. We hardly ever had help over the top for our CB's. Like i said, add a playmaking FS and get bigger and stronger up front, and i think this style of D would be just fine.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

This team needs to be shaken-up at every level including assistants, no more status quo and no more plugging in unremarkable personnel they "hope" can get the job done (like Alan Ball and Paul P)

Larry Fitzgerald ran right down the middle of the field without making a move and caught the ball. Rushing 4 would not have made a difference IMO.

On that note though, Campo does have to go.....please...pretty please... don't let me down on this one Jason!!
