Coaching Damone Clark up to an all American level player?

Linebackers have improved, a lot.

They aren't where they should be, but they had a hell of a long way to get there.

In all honesty, he was more qualified to take over the DC job than Jones was.

I could see Baker being retained honestly.

He was demoted by Manny Diaz....yes, Manny Diaz thought his long time protege wasn't a good play caller, so O went out and hired him.

Our scheme is SO vanilla it's hard to say how well someone is playing. Somebody makes a play from time to time but we dont have dominant games or even halves. Maybe a quarter.

FTR, we've had some great LB position coaches:
Chief
Aranda
Steele

Damone Clark is a lot better than last year or even earlier this year. He's making plays all over the place, especially in the absence of plays by others. He's not perfect or outstanding, but is making plays. I don't think he's all-american caliber (as others are saying) but he may end up with the stats to all-american.

Anyone trumpeting the "15 yards downfield" nonsense clearly hasn't watched the last 4 or so games. Yes, he still cleans up others issues. But he's making plays in the back-field, open field, at the los, etc. He's also attacking the ballcarrier whereas earlier this year he was very passive and letting the ball carrier come to him.

How many of his linebackers did he evaluate, recruit, and sign?
Clark has absolutely improved.

It's a shame the new hires to lose their jobs after a year, before they have time to prove themselves.
But, that is the business

They are more times in the wrong hole and then chasing the play every other time.

Sucking like the rest of the staff. Clark is the only decent linebacker on the team. Os whole staff is bad
