Title: new coaches around the league Post by: fyo on January 26, 2012, 05:58:31 pm Raiders hire Dennis Allen (source (http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nfl/story/_/id/7499385/sources-oakland-raiders-hire-dennis-allen-denver-broncos-coach)), defensive coordinator for the Broncos for exactly 1 year. Total years of coordinator experience: 1. Total years of head coach experience (any level): 0.
Buccaneers hire Greg Schiano (source (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7505668/tampa-bay-buccaneers-hire-rutgers-scarlet-knights-greg-schiano-coach-source-says)), Rutgers head coach since 2001. Previous NFL experience consists of 3 years with the Bears as a defensive assistant / backs coach. Colts hire Chuck Pagano (source (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7503273/chuck-pagano-hired-indianapolis-colts-coach)), defensive coordinator for the Ravens for the past year and 2007, while being relegated to def. secondary coach in between. Total years of head coach experience (any level): 0. Title: Re: new coaches around the league Post by: MikeO on January 28, 2012, 07:34:59 pm Schiano has a tough road. Killer division with Saints/Falcons/Newton to compete with.
Not sure about Pagano. Better have a quality OC in place for Luck Al Davis is dead and that franchise still makes odd hires! Title: Re: new coaches around the league Post by: Landshark on January 28, 2012, 09:26:27 pm Pagano will build that Colts defense into a respectable one, but I agree with MikeO. Gotta have a strong OC in place if you're a defensive minded coach.

LOL, on WFAN in NY they actually had this discussion last week one day for a little while. Saying with Rex's having players quit on him, having LT badmouth him a bit, having the QB McElroy go on that radio station and say what he said, that the Jets need to have a back-up plan incase Rex at some point just implodes with this circus and the fear they have it that its Saparano now! LOL Jets fans were nervous over that. I was laughing while listening. |
