McDermott will be gone

[Chimera]

I'm more worried about Eric Washington being sniped for a DC slot than Snyder hiring McD. But you never know with Snyder.

Kubiak can run Shanahan's offense, but is he a yes man?

If we win this week and there is no announcement before the NFCCG, I think we'll know what that means.

We can deny Washington moving to be a DC since it's considered a lateral move.

Did you just make a DC sniper joke?

[KendrickPanther]

I don't know if he stays or not but his scheme looked a lot better with good players. We have talent on defense.

If you want to talk about building a D, yea that's all Rivera. Scheming and planning, mostly Rivera with some McDermott input. On gameday, McDermott mostly choosing the playcalls with Rivera getting the final say. At least that's how I picture it. Rivera's defenses are always excellent no matter where he goes. Thus this logic. Rivera is a defensive minded HC. Thus this is Rivera's D.

 

McDermott was hired because they had similar philosophies and Rivera has his input but this defense is run by McDermott.  Many times throughout the season Rivera has complimented McDermott for making good calls.

 

This is Rivera's Team but McDermott's defense.

 

IMO I would rather have Wilks replace him over Washington.  Nothing against Washington I just feel Wilks has the IT factor.

He can be interviewed during the bye but not offered a job until after the season. So he should be focusednhere no matter what. Plus I am in the camp they are interviewing him due to his Philly connection as much as his work here. They know he has gameplanned against the division for years under Johnson and when he was DC there.

Washington is the DL coach...DC is not a lateral move.

[Matthias]

Let him leave.  Hopefully we will pick up Seattle's secondary coach in Kris Richard, and he will do similar work in coaching up late round talent.

[Snake]

Yea and Ron Rivera is just a boob that had no input at all....

Just shows you how desperate some teams are. They will interview any coordinator with a name now. It use to mean something but not its just a circus act.

No we cant. Position coach to DC is not lateral.

I was wrong. There are only two levels. Head and Assistant. We could block him but I doubt we would do that.

[Mr. Scot]

Teams generally don't block position coaches from advancement opportunities.

Granted, there are exceptions.

[CPcavedweller]

The random thoughts threads the past two days are ridiculous. Not only do they promote no discussion, it's basically baiting others to agree with you and provide evidence for YOUR point. Our defensive philosophy: get after the QB and cover the passing lanes.

[Goondal]

Well then we might as well win it this year.  Also, the longer we go into the playoffs, the more likely teams are to fill their openings with someone else.
