What would be your thoughts on Marv Lewis as a Defensive Coordinator?

[darthseinfeld]

There has been some talk in the media that Lewis could be a name to remember in term of the defensive coordinator position.

What would your thoughts be if Lewis was our next defensive coordinator?

 

[DarthVander]

Yes, I would take it. I’m tired of our vanilla basic defense.

We didn’t fair that well with Rob Ryan. May be the players.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Can’t be worse than Rod or Richard right now. I’d give him a shot.

 

[SHAMSzy]

Very good

especially with a coach that doesn’t have significant NFL HC experience

 

[Tabascocat]

Only if it is the new HC’s idea. If he is hired before then.......nothing but par for the course.

Lewis as a DC is no-brainer.

Lewis in his day may have been one of the best DC's ever. Probably in the top 5

However its been a long time sincr he ran a defense. He was more a CEO type HC most of his career in Cincy. My concern would be that its been a very long time since he wore that hat

Just stop.

Totally classless move to interview a guy for HC to satisfy Rooney then turn around and offer him a lesser job.

My problem with him or anyone else is we are talking about a coordinator before having a head coach. Head coach needs to hire his own people and that would be the place to start. McCarthy supposedly already wanted Haslem on his staff as DC so if he were to be hired and he was forced to take Lewis? We are right back to talking about forcing coordinators on our puppet coach and all that goes with it.

Who ever said that they were interviewing him for the head coaching position?

 

[Daillest88]

Lewis as head coach vs Lewis as defense coordinator are completely different I say hell yes as defense coord and hell naw as head coach.

 

[visionary]

Here is a novel idea
The HC should hire the DC
Hire the HC

Let's make this all about social justice, shall we?

Here is the deal. If he agreed to the interview, he is disrespecting himself to the same level you believe the organization is being "classless".

That is just as much on him as it is on anyone else. He has free will.

I would prefer we hire a coach first and then that coach would interview assistants and make his hire of the guy who fits him the best.
