Del Rio to be DC for DC lol

Recommended Posts

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.

    • If Clemson wins, they have a tiny shot at sneaking in.  I’d say if Gamecocks win, that shot is much smaller than Clemson’s was Gamecocks got problems Clemson doesn’t.  Ole Miss and Bama.  Both ahead of them, with the head to head win over them. 
    • Yeah, I spent a lot of time living in Ashe County, in the Fleetwood area... 20 minutes from West Jefferson, 20 minutes from Boone... unless it snowed and then you had an hour and a half each way. And I did ski reports for radio stations back then, so yeah, I had to go in to work on those mornings. Moved to Greensboro and 25 years later, I really miss the snow. I loved how it looked, how quiet it made the world sound, that wonderful fresh smell in the air. I know, though, that it's just nostalgia and it would be rough as heck on me now. Still, maybe once the kids are all off to college the Mrs. and I can go back to the mountains.
    • Yeah, and he both deserves it and has the ability to be worth it. Offensive linemen can still be functional and good well into their 30s.
