Sir Fury

[quote]He's gone from high school to small college to the CFL to major college to the NFL (where he progressed from assistant DB coach to primary DB coach). I don't know a lot about him, but his coaching record shows he has progressed significantly. He's only been in the NFL for 5 years. I t...

[quote]It’s pretty clear to me. It’s a progression from lower tier (HS/FCS/G5 ranks) or lower position to one of higher responsibility. It may be subjective, but it’s still also fairly clear to identify. This guy Jones is not an “up-and-comer” because there has been no evidence of success besides ma...

[quote]Except hes not an up and comer. He’s a journeyman defensive backs coach with mixed results at best. His last few stops have resulted in secondaries getting significantly worse right when he gets there [/quote] That's subjective. What exactly makes one an "up-and-comer" anyway? That seems ...

I thought y’all wanted a young(er) up-and-comer? ...

tRant: We want a young up-and-comer! Also tRant: We want someone with a long track record! This board is bi-polar. Just let the process play out....

[quote]This is different than a Bama where there coaches actually go become HC. Analysts, Position Coaches, moving into coordinator roles. [/quote] Except for Pelini, that is exactly what has happened here. Some of you are acting like children. Grow up, be patient, and let the process play out. ...

I'm sure they're are lots of guys "available" that want the job. But most of those guys aren't good enough. And kf the ones that are, very few are available. We need to be patient. It will happen soon. ...

The portal isn’t necessarily the problem. The issue lies more in that there isn’t enough spots for them to go to...unless a vast majority are willing to be a walk-on. Undergrad transfers count towards a schools yearly 25 signee scholarship limit. So, while schools like LSU are/were hemorrhaging play...

[quote]meh[/quote] No. Its because if Brady to the Panthers....

This isn’t a Sean Payton issue. It’s a contract issue. Payton doesn’t write up contracts. If Payton wanted to block this, he would be done so by not allowing us to speak with a Nielsen....

Well, at least it’s a very credible source, this time. Slater has been in the Saints ops building for several days, reporting on the lead up to yesterday’s game....

[quote]Payton going to block it? [/quote] Sean Payton doesn’t like to block his assistants from interviewing, so long as that’s what the assistant wants. ...

[quote]Good points, but this game tonight rivals those mentioned.[/quote] Not even close. ...

People keep saying this, but its not true. CEO has stated multiple times, including today, that he wants to be "multiple" on defense. That means he wants to run variations of both 3 AND 4-man fronts. ...

[quote]So after Freeman is every coordinator we pursue that has multiple opportunities "playing us"? That is some serious PTSD.[/quote] That’s been the MO of this board since 1/9/2012....

[quote] Yes, hiring a proven good dc is much worse than hiring a guy who has never been a dc. [/quote] Even thinking it's slightly worse would be idiotic. Not because I don't think CR can lead a good defense. I think he can. But he's never done it. Arnett has. ...

The Freeman interview would have been quite too, if his agent had not leaked it in order to push for a few more bucks from ND. It wasn’t our side that leaked it. And Coach O never mentioned his name specifically until after it was leaked. ...

If we get him for $2-2.5M, that's a heck of a deal considering a couple other programs we're after him. ...

It's more of a "hold that tiger [back]". As in "watch ou, im about to get started"....

[quote]Looks like the thread with Lonn’s tweet got the axe. Hmmm...[/quote] Because he’s a hack. ...
