Nolan defense system is trash is so bad

[DuncanIso]

Tackles are not the best way to judge a guy. I won't buy into this idea that Smith is one of the worst LBs in football like some here want to claim but reality is he has not played well either. He churns up tackles because he's a spaz and runs all over the field but look at the film review and see the multitude of mistakes he makes game in and game out. He's certainly not earning his contract IMO.

except he’s a tackling machine.

It's like a guy who has been god awful as a DC this entire decade is living up to who he is. This was the dumbest hire I can remember. No hindsight, either. So many were confused on why we hired him.At least MM made sense to some degree. Nolan is a whole other level bad. His defense might have a good game every 6-8 games. Maybe a good quarter in a few others but we are so confused so often, especially right up until the snap. We don't line up correctly. Leave gaping holes.Allergic to takeaways. Allergic to making big plays when it counts. There will be a few outlier games where they look good but that's it.

agree.

Big Mike hired Nolan because they are big buddies.

nolan hired MM to be the OC at 49ers back in 2005.

January 2020, it’s big Mike’s turn to return the favor.

That DC contract is worth a lot of money.

It’s not about winning. It’s about $$$ and cronyism.

"Nolan's defense is trash!"
"Marinelli's defense sucks!"
"Monte Kiffin's defense doesn't work anymore!"
"Rob Ryan's defense is garbage!"

Maybe the continual defensive problems have been more about the players than the systems?
