Del Rio to be DC for DC lol

Del Rio is getting love on name recognition, not accomplishment. 

His last DC job was in Denver from 2012 to 2014.  In 2012, Denver had a top 5 defense, then slid to completely average the next two seasons.  The year after he left, 2015, the Denver defense was once again a top 5 defense.

As the HC in Oakland, his defenses were never above average.  As HC in Jacksonville, he had a good first few years, and then that defense tailed off to average.

The bottom line is that since 2008, Del Rio has coached exactly one top 10 defense, in Denver with Fox and that lasted one year.

Best of luck to him and Riverboat in DC.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
