Just remember Dennis Allen would need to win 27 games in a row to match his head coaching win percentage. And we hiring him to just be a coordinator.

And it’d likely be more if we didn’t put him out of his misery early in the season.

So because we had a shitty coach we should hire a slightly less shitty coach?


Not even saying he will be bad but that’s your argument here.

Fantastic hire

His defenses were/are awesome and NO ONE wants to hire him away to be a HC

He had a .500 career record. That’s not really shitty. It’s a lot better than Belichecks record during his first hc job.

And no I’m saying he’s Belicheck.

What defenses are you referring to outside of the one year he was DC for the rams?

Some people are a lot better coordinators than they are head coaches. Dennis Allen is that, several of Bill Belichick's assistants have proven that.

Yep. He's kinda like DA. Great DC who failed as a HC.

Draft a d-line that can rush the passer and clog the middle in the run game. This makes all coaches look like defensive geniuses.

exactly... Staley is a better DC than he is a HC.... that may change one day, but we ain't hiring him to be HC, just DC, so his HC record is truly irrelevant

Allen’s defenses were always better when he was a DC vs when he was a HC

Nobody should care what he did as a HC.

DA was a great DC.

Is anyone complaining about Staley being hired as DC? I haven’t seen anyone talking bad about the hire.



But, comparing anything to Dennis Allen is not a good benchmark.

= Hey guys, look at this 120 year old prison toilet I got from Angola! It’s falling apart and has some unidentifiable stains on it, but it’s really cool.
- Gross!!!
* Why?!?
# Dude, really?!?!

= Its record is better than Dennis Allen’s record as a head coach.
* Well, he’s got a point guys.

If we seriously upgrade lines on both sides of the ball we will see big results,
whoever is coach or QB.
