Hey Ho, Haslett has to go! (or maybe not)

Smoot what have you heard of Pepper Johnson and Kevin Greene as D.C. candidates or a possibility for us?

[SmootSmack]

What about Bobby?

I'd be ok with that depending on their background. Leslie Frazier and Raheem Morris are two guys who made the most of their opportunities when they were in the lower coaching ranks, and I'd be suprised if Raheem isn't a coordinator again pretty soon. Obviously he didn't work out as a head coach and the jury's still out on Frazier but both are guys who have definitely made the most of opportunities when they presented themselves. As long as it isn't another hire like Haslett (mediocre track record with being a d-coordinator and from what it sounds like wasn't even that enthusiastic about coaching a 3-4) I'm fine with it.

I heard Pepper's name once in passing. Greene haven't heard anything

Slowik was a terrible DC. Think about all those years MS had a great offense in Denver and terrible defense then look at who was the DC. It was Slowik. Slowick should still be our defensive backs coach not the linebackers coach. I wonder if we could take Kirby Smart off Saban's staff?

Thanks for the links. I was definitely talking about Bob, in terms of taking over in an interim capacity as DC here. I wouldn't really want Morris to take the job, and I was thinking that Bob Slowik has experience. Besides I now trust everyone named Bob!

I think they need to run the ball more on offense, but that's only because I have Jonathan Stewart in ff. Either way, if Rivera is available after the season I'd definitely bring him in for an interview, minimum.

Well, they're 1-6 and just fired their GM. It makes sense if you bring in a new GM, you let him clean house and bring in his own guys. Barring a big turnaround Rivera is likely done.

Only if it brought more pressure on the QB which I think was probably the reason for switching to the 3-4 in the first place. We want to be like the team that just kicked our ass. Seems to work pretty well for them. But we have a secondary that beyond sucks and a DC that isn't very proficient at running it.

Changing during the season makes no sense so can him after the season. I know we don't have players but it looks like the scheme isn't any good. The Rams game and this past one against Pittsburgh were just awful awful performacnes.

The defense was much better playing a 4-3 so MS has to take blame for this. I'd have to say for 7 mil a year Snyder isn't getting a good return on investment.

Has he ever? Perfect examples are Haynesworth and Hall.

[skinsfan69]

As much as Haslett needs to go, I'd honestly be more concerned about getting better players and what's the plan on doing that. Who are the top free agents? Is it possible to move up in the draft? Demarcus Milliner from Alabama looks like a pretty damn good corner.

Oh yeah I forget about them firing Hurney. Good call on that.

Awesome thought but I don't see it happening in-season.
