AJ Klein probably going also. Just makes sense.

Yea one of my first thoughts when I saw they hired McDermott. Maybe Addison too?

Perry Fewell may be available.

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)

You're right about McD's confidence in him to be a DC. If that's official then that's a pretty meaningful thing. I'd want to know why Washington wasn't asked-- or if he turned it down. Again, I'm not saying he's a bad coach, but it's at least like a Klein situation where he may be good, but won't be a massive loss here.

I also have seen no evidence of Holcomb being a key coach for us, so until I hear Rivera or McD talk about him and what he does, then I have no reason to believe otherwise.

Good for him though, making a move.

Overall I think this is playing out best for everyone involved. As others have said, this team needs a shake up. Not even because McD wasn't doing well, but we've had basically the same staff for 6 years now. I just think it's time to have some kind of progression and luckily everyone is getting an upgrade and everyone is happy.

Al Halcomb is a pretty good coach. The thing is, with where our linebackers are, losing a coach like him wouldn't hurt us much at all.

It's be a whole lot different than, say, Wilks leaving with McDermott.

Hell just make TD and Luke player coaches

[Soul Rebel]

I'd prefer to lose Holcomb than Wilks & Washington.  As long as the poaching stops there, I'm ok with it. We knew some coaches would roll with McDermott to BUF.  

Come on Sean...... you know you want Shula too.

Joey Porter might be available...

What of Shaq Thompson? Can some of y'all not see his development?

 

[FootballLivesMatter]

Are they taking Luke, TD and Shaq? Ok, I don't care.

Maybe he will take Mike Shula with him. Mike could become the stadium groundskeeper.

What kind of message will it send to this franchise when Sean extensively tries to poach out our defensive staff and outright ignores anybody affiliated with the offensive side of the ball.

Any that leave for Buttfalo will have a short stint. That organization is a dumpster fire. After all they did make Rex HC.

None because he can't take anyone without giving them a promotion. So unless for some stupid reason he hires Ricky Proehl or Ray Brown or Jim Skipper as OC, I don't see him taking anyone on the offensive side and it won't send any message.

[PantherBuckeye89]

I'm calling it now. AJ Klein signs with Buffalo to call McDermotts defense.

As far as losing Holcomb, the replacement nobody is talking about is Mike Singletary.
