Crime Dog out

I hate that. Really. I loved watching them struggle.

Hitting the reset button on DCs isn’t going to make them a whole lot better on that side of the ball. The biggest issue on defense is talent. Whoever they hire will probably demand a “coach-friendly” contract similar to what McGriff got, considering the lack of talent and stability up there now.

Somebody here predicted this firing by noon today.

 

[civildawg88]

I actually thought they did a pretty decent job on defense against us. This is just a PR stunt to try to win back some of the fan base

 

[patdog]

Yeah. Doesn’t really matter who their DC is. Their problem is the talent.

 

[57stratdawg]

Weren’t they paying him 7figures? They could just let me pull defensive plays out of hat next time.

 

[civildawg88]

It was because he was going to have the defense to stop all offenses if I remember correctly

 

[Cap'n Geech]

Question: What caliber of DC are they going to get to coach under Luke with that roster after they fired McGriff after 2 years coaching under Luke with that roster?
2nd Question: What are they going to have to pay this coach at the same time they're paying off McGriff's buyout?

Winner. Luke had to make the change to somewhat appease the fan base. I expect that he will be on the chopping block after next season.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

That’s disappointing. I hope they go after sirmon.

They are going to have to pay Bob Shoop money to a Carl Torbush level DC. They also still owe Mcgriff over $2 million and basically cannot fire their lame duck HC until at least the end of next season. It is a cluster up there at the moment. Winning the Egg Bowl last year and setting all of these ridiculous self-inflicted staffing issues in motion may turn out to be a terrible thing long term for them.

And who would want to come in knowing there is a HC change coming no more than a year from now? And what potential new HC is gonna like any thought that big $ were committed to a DC not if his choosing? Will he be pressured to keep said DC? Will a large buyout (assuming they will need one to attract a decent DC), cause the new HC's budget for staff be tighter?

I was impressed by his rock paper scissors signal calling from the sidelines.

 

[seshomoru]

Well when you’re 0-10 on third down...

Wait... that was Longo and Luke

 

[HumpDawgy]

Maybe they can get Belichek to come.*** I'm hoping for Sirmon.
