The coordinators

I'm not sure what to think of Manusky, but then I found this article...here's a few excerpts for the lazy (the guy writing this is not a Manusky fan)...


San Diego Chargers' Defense Liberated from Former Coordinator Greg Manusky | Bleacher Report (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1295186-san-diego-chargers-defense-liberated-from-former-coordinator-greg-manusky)

"The San Diego Chargers have already embarrassed Greg Manusky by firing him after only one year as defensive coordinator. However, I'd dog pile the man.

...

In 2010, Manusky was the defensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers. The next season, he was the Chargers' defensive boss. In each team's season with him, their productivity took a huge, unacceptable hit.

...

Under Manusky, the Chargers could not get off the field on third down. A year after leading the league with opponents only converting 34 percent of their third down attempts, the Chargers put up the worst effort in the last 15 years. They allowed opponents to convert an amazing 49 percent of their attempts.

...

The Chargers were barely holding back the flood gates against runners with Rivera somehow holding opponents to just 93.8 yards on the ground per game in 2010. He was doing it with smoke and mirrors, but it got done. Opposing runners ran wild under Manusky's watch, stampeding for 122.2 yards per game in 2011."


Cant get off the field on 3rd down...haven't we seen that movie before?

Just hire Pettine already.

Good summary of why I don't want Manusky. I am holding out for Pettine too but I fear the worst. They would've hired him already if they were sold he would do a good job.

They need to get there s*&^ together and hire someone already!!!!!!!! Whatever system the new DC sets into place, the draft needs to reflect those needs. The scouts need to know this as they evaluate talent before the draft. Will they need DEs or another NT? I hope they do know something we don't and already have their man in place, and I hope it isn't Manusky. Nobody that was on Barry's staff has any business being a DC.

I keep thinking there may be a "mystery" candidate whose team is still in the playoffs. If so, we could possibly know who that is by Monday.

Nice heads up SFREDSKIN!!! I forgot about him. He was pretty much off the radar. I knew there had to be a method to the madness.

If they do want him that means we will be waiting until at least February 5th to get our DC. That's a lot more time to get ourselves all worried.

Not really worried, just puzzled why they didn't jump on Bradley or Petine. The sooner we hire a guy the more time we have to evaluate our targets' talent.

Damn, I'll be really pissed if it's Raheem Morris. He doesn't have a great history of success or anything. He was passed over for this position for Joe Barry, and not surprisingly because we had just had 4 crappy years of secondary play under him. Promote Olividatti, who's apparently been impressive enough to keep around for 13 seasons while guys like Morris have been sent packing.

I don't get it really, I have heard good things about Olivadotti for years, But he doesn't seem to be interviewed ever for coordinator positions. Maybe he's just a really good position coach?

Welp, now we can say they screwed up the search, smh

Redskins to promote Greg Manusky to defensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet. This will be his fourth stint as a DC.

Enough with the due diligence.....It should be either Manasky, Pettine, or Thurman....they are treating this like it's a head coaching position in question.
