Hey at least it's not Morris or Haz right? lol

way to early to judge this hire.

he did work under monte kifflin for 6 years.

I have to admit, I wanted Phillips but who knows, Barry might be capable. At least they didn't rehire Haslett...

you know i just said that to a co worker...wouldnt it be nice for once if this guy comes in and balls out? Just once can we get that

2 weeks ago probably 99% of people didn't know this guy's name. Now it's a given he's a bad hire? Ok.

I'm willing to give it a chance. Let's see what happens with the rest of the D staff.

does this leave the door open for morris to remain secondary coach?

cooley sd he really like morris, says he knows football, the players love him and typically position coachs get lil to no say in weekly game plans and just have to say "yes sir".

When this is all said and done....I'd like to see a survey.
I personally would have kept Haslett over this guy....and I did not like his work as it was consistantly below average.
a monkey could win 1 game out of 16....even if he didn't show up to coach.

I could be wrong, but based on his track record, I seriously doubt it.
I sure hope this is all just a bad report and it is not true or official yet...and they de-Zornify this situation before it is too late.
or...they could give him a guaranteed 5 year deal for 10M...we shall see

I'm sure he'll be better than has and I'm glad we didn't hire a old head to be our DC. At least he's fresh

Why would we waste space in our memory for the defensive coordinator for one of the Worst defenses in the history of the game (detroit)?
We didn't know his name because he has done nothing impressive.
Name recognition generally comes from success.
The fact that no one knows him isn't always a bad sign...until we looked at his track record....that is why it is a bad hire.
