LB Coach Al Holcomb could follow McDermott to Buffalo

I realize COULD is an important word here but it stinks we are likely to lose Washington or Holcomb. Both are GREAT position coaches.  I'm sure Garafolo didn't just just a name out of the hat either, he's been told they are working on it.



MORE SMOKE TO THIS
 

Holcomb is a bigger loss than most will think.  Look at the LB he has developed  :  Kuechly, Davis (obviously not his whole career), Klein, Thompson, and now Mayo looks promising.

I mean, Holcomb coaches Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis - might be the easiest job in the league? LOL

Make fun all you want but don't you think he had something to do with helping develop them.  The answer, of course, is yes.  He is a hell of a coach.

I'm sure he's a good coach, I'm also sure Rivera can find another good coach to replace him.

Why are we worried about losing Holcomb? He was a QA guy or something the year before we hired him. Luke was entering his 2nd year here. Holcomb didn't develop anyone. I guarantee Luke and TD are more important to Klein, Shaq, and now Mayo's growth. Holcomb probably learned more than he taught.

Not saying he isn't a good coach but Luke and TD just need a guy to run them through drills and offer some outside perspective from time to time. Those guys coach that group.

If that was the case, I doubt McDermott would make him his DC in Buffalo.  While I agree, Luke and TD don't need much coaching, I'm sure he had a larger say in the defense as a whole than you'd think (especially in light of McDermott's decision)
