top notch d coord come in and make improvements. look at wade phillips in houston, mike nolan, even gregg williams. you dont come in and field the worst defense ever and get a pass, at least in my book.

lovie would be great, but he probably gets a head coaching gig.

I personally think Wade Phillips would be a great hire. That being said, I hope you guys stick with Spags cause that D is terrible!

The first half of the season he was missing a Lb coach, two veteran team leaders at vital positions, a HC, the offense was deplorable, and he had just started a totally new defensive scheme. They did improve. God damn give the dude a little slack.

First of all, Wade Phillips took over a Texans defense that is loaded with talent. He didn't have to do very much but his schemes have helped get the most out of the talent there. But let's just ignore the huge tank job that is occurring with the Texas defense or the tank jobs that happened while he was in Dallas.

Mike Nolan's defense in Atlanta isn't great either. They can't stop the run at all but they are ok at CB & have a top 5 safety combo on the back end.

& Gregg Williams??? Really??? His implementation of a pay for performance program, undisciplined defensive teachings & lack of ability to scout & pick defensive talent is why the defense is in the predicament it's facing anyway.
