Do we keep McDermott...

[TruCatzFan]

The defense has improved a great deal this year despite key injuries.

Over the past 5 weeks they are a top 10 defense.

Do we want to completely break up that scheme and unit and risk having an awful defense again?

If we keep McDermott would that help keep some continuity on the defense?

You definitely KEEP McDemott... When James Anderson is saying that its his defense with "some input here or there than McDermott obviously is the reason for. Their Success.

That's it... That's all I got. Information from a player on our defense, straight from his mouth.

yeah our defense is so great it has gotten us a 2-7 record.

fantastic.

You also probably think that 2+2= 5.... Your opinion means nothing when u make comments like that.

There always is the possibility a new DC can pick up the pieces, run with what we have, and make the unit even better. It's not always doom and gloom and a Rivera/McDonut scheme can't be the only one that works for us. Look at the 49ers when they're new coaching staff came in. The new DC took that unit from just 13th overall to 4th overall, defensively.

The talent is there for us, apparently, if we are top 10 right now. Now, unless the new staff coming in acts like the current one, there's no reason to believe they won't look back at what's been working for us and play off that.

I know we've been burned a lot lately when it comes to coaching, but we have to stop being insecure with our prospects.

People will want this Job... So if we want to Keep McDerrmott we can...

Interview question for potential Head Coaches: We really like what McD did last year for our defense and have decided we want to keep him around. Will this effect you ability to produce results X, Y Z? How will you incorporate McD into your plan for this team? Is there any reason you will not be able to work with McD do satisfy our goals.

How the candidates answer those questions will factor into the decision, and when they accept the job they would have already agreed to work with the resources left over.

Please don't keep McDermott. He calls prevent zone coverage every single damn play, its terrible.
