New Defensive Coordinator 2015

Gotta be a joke right? Please tell me this is a joke.

That was my thought. Hopped on twitter this morning. The first thing I saw was that the Bills were letting Schwartz walk. That made me very happy, I think he'd be the best thing next to Greg Williams. The 2nd thing I read is that we were interviewing Morris... That made me sad. I wonder if it was just the simplest way to fulfill the Rooney rule. I can't imagine handing the defense over to him.

No Rooney rule for coordinator jobs.

Vic Fangio could request release from 49ers if he’s passed over for H.C. job, as @MikeSilver reported.
Fangio could leave if he doesn't become 49ers head coach | CSN Bay Area (http://www.csnbayarea.com/49ers/fangio-could-leave-49ers-if-passed-over-job) …

On twitter, I keep seeing rumblings of Raheem being promoted.

Please no.

Report: DC Job Down To Raheem Morris And Joe Barry; No More Interviews Scheduled - Hogs Haven (http://www.hogshaven.com/2015/1/13/7538023/report-dc-job-down-to-raheem-morris-and-joe-barry-no-more-interviews)




If this is true, Gruden will be fired after next season. It's like he's trying to get fired at this point. Why not walk away with 12 million for not doing a god damn thing. Hell, that's better than what Shanny pulled off.

edit: I say this under the assumption that he's making this choice. It very well could be Bruce Allen making this decision, in which case....why the fuck is he still here?

When Raheem Morris interviews with #Redskins for their DC job today or tomorrow, that’s the last interview. Sounds like Morris or Joe Barry


Both Morris and Barry are really crappy options. What happened to Wade?

Edit: I see NC Skins beat me to it...

If they give the DC job to Morris then so be it. It wouldn't be my first choice but maybe he's got his own ideas on how things should be run. Are we really going to judge him on the secondary last year when he's working with guys like EJ Biggers and Ryan Clark?

Very premature to say this about Gruden.

Im not buying either of those guys

Not just that. Look at his defense's rankings in Tampa...

2009: 27th in points, 27th in yards
2010: 9th in points, 17th in yards
2011: 32nd in points, 30th in yards

I'd take Morris over Barry (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/BarrJo0.htm?mobile=false), but it's like the lesser of two evils.

No question his 2011 team in Tampa quit on him. I'd prefer that they talk to Schwartz.
