The next Defensive Coordinator will be?

[Aven8]

If you mean Zimmer, no, he is not. He's the very definition of mediocre. Check his records. His defenses have never won a championships ans we are supposed to be going all-in, right? You don't go all-in with a guy who's never won jack in over 20 years.

Plus, he sucked very badly as defensive coordinator when he was here. Those defenses were all time bad.

I meant our HC

 

[Floatyworm]

I was sure they are hiring Zimmer. Now I am starting to think it's Rivera. Yikes.

Don't worry.....it's gonna be a disaster regardless who they hire....and the real guy in charge will be working hard behind the scenes....

Ben Dover

What do you mean? Running it back with a lame duck HC, an exposed fake leader QB, and a new DC with the same worn out tools isn't going to work?

 

[MikeT22]

Demarcus Ware, because why not with this FO championing dumb choices.

With Witten as HC

 

[Doomsday]

Zimmer has been pretty successful vs the Shanahan coaching tree as well. Seems like a no brainer to me.

For fun, I picked Al Harris but I wanted to pick other. I don’t think the next DC will be someone that wants to be a HC in the next year or two.

I can see Harris being a DC and having a “consultant” who probably can’t be an official NFL coach but be available when season start and help Harris (eg: Wade Phillips).

I'm waiting for someone to say Bill Bates...they can hand out lunch pails to every defensive player, and instruct them to be gritty.

 

[jazzcat22]

Who they will hire? Zimmer
Who should they hire? Vrabel

That is my thought as well. I voted Zimmer. As the question was who will be the DC, not who anyone wanted.
Vrabel for me, but it will not happen.

Ryan

I was nearly certain that Zimmer would be our retread. Now I'm thinking Ryan may get the honor of being our retread.

 

[TheBigEasy]

Rex Ryan

 

[Rowdy1]

It will most likely be Zimmer lol. I would have rather kept DQ than go full retread mode for comfort reasons.

 

[Big_D]

This was before the Ryan news broke. I think he'll get the job.

 

[Rayman70]

It's gonna be Rivera or Durde. I'm throwing darts but Durde gives Jerry a guy that might stick with the same DQ type scheme which means not much needs to be changed. Rivera will go along to get along. Both would be the path of least resistance or change . Just my take.

 

[Rayman70]

I don't think so. Zimmer will want his guys in there. Not sure Jerry or McCarthy will do it. I think Durde or Rivera realistically.

I'd like it ok. Its a gamble but what the heck. As long as some of the staffers are retained , Jerry might do it

 

[Kwyn]

Its just ridiculous that here we are, 4 weeks removed from our annual playoff ouster, and we're STILL trying to sort out the DC position. Then add in the indignity of a HORRIBLE list of candidates. I've never seen a couple of billionaires take so long to do something mediocre.

It’s been less than a week since the job became vacant. They don’t have a Time Machine.

It's gonna be Rivera or Durde. I'm throwing darts but Durde gives Jerry a guy that might stick with the same DQ type scheme which means not much needs to be changed. Rivera will go along to get along. Both would be the path of least resistance or change . Just my take.

I don't like the Durde idea at all. The potential is there for him down the line a ways, but the resume is very meager and now is certainly not the time for a learning curve DC.

 

[DasTex]

Jerry loves Zimmer
If he's the hire, probably a good chance he's the next HC too

 

[RoboQB]

Over 50 votes in and not one for Martindale.

I'm late to the game here. I just voted.
"Don't Blink Hire Wink"

Someone actually said his defense was, um, wait a sec,
too aggressive. Yep, too aggressive. When I'm thinking
of defense, I don't believe I've ever put those two words
together....lol/smh
