Technico Support Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Kubiak doesn't want to leave though I was hoping that was his nice way of letting the Bears down easy and that he would leave if a more attractive position (Broncos) was offered.
Death From Above Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I am really surprised from how quickly Denver has gone from Superbowl contender to "it could all blow up". Though I won't actually believe in that blow up unless I see it, mind you. They were always a bad QB hit away from that while Manning was there. So basically we're saying it really is a miracle the Saints have lasted as long as they have. Or the Chargers? I mean, I can buy that. But man, harsh business.
RIPPA Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 PFT is now saying the Niners are hiring Jim Tomsula as head coach
The Comedian Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 So it looks like the Skins will hire Joe Barry as the defensive coordinator. I believe he is the current LB coach of the Chargers but it sounds like his legacy is that he was the coordinator for the 0-16 Detroit Lions. So in other words a PERFECT hire Knowing the Skins they might end up hiring Joe Barry Carroll by accident.
RonL21 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Per Schefter, the 49ers will promote Jim Tomsula to head coach. I have no idea what Fangio did to not have been offered the job.
dogwelder Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I do like this from an article in the Washington Post about the possible hiring of Joe Barry: Barry had a two-year stint as defensive coordinator in Detroit (2007 and 2008), but his units ranked last in the league both in yards and points allowed. But some league insiders say that those poor rankings had more to do with a lack of talent than anything. Um...and how is that different than the current Skins defense? 1
RonL21 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Too bad Ron has me on ignore Lol, your post wasn't there when I typed it. I got a phone call before I could post from my phone. You beat me to the punch once again *shakes fist*
RonL21 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Also Looks like Marc Trestman will be brought in as OC for the Niners per Sources
Death From Above Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 That's an interesting choice given his recent preferences for more pass heavy offenses.
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I am okay with this move. Yes, I probably would have preferred Fangio but it's better than the Gase rumor. I'd rather have the devil I know right now. The most important thing is who replaces Roman (looks like it could be Trestman) and what they do with Kaep.
glfpunk Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I read that Barry guy is Rod Marinelli's son in law, who was the head coach in Detroit when he was there. Apparently after a game a reporter asked Marinelli if he wished his daughter had married a better defensive coordinator.
Cole Miner Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I read that Barry guy is Rod Marinelli's son in law, who was the head coach in Detroit when he was there. Apparently after a game a reporter asked Marinelli if he wished his daughter had married a better defensive coordinator. Yeah Rob Parker. He made some great career choices. That question and calling RG3 a fake black that isn't one of us. Takes a special kind of fool to get ousted from ESPN for comments on First Take.
Brian Fowler Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Trust me when I say that Washington has way more talent on defense than those Detroit teams did. I still wouldn't hire Barry, but the talent argument is fair.
dogwelder Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Trust me when I say that Washington has way more talent on defense than those Detroit teams did. I still wouldn't hire Barry, but the talent argument is fair. Oh geez, I just looked on Pro Football Reference at those two Detroit teams and I really only recognize two names on defense (Ernie Sims and Shaun Rogers). Did they draft all offensive players or something?
Burgundy LaRue Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I assume that was the period where the Lions were constantly drafting wide receivers BM (Before Megatron) finally arrived.
RIPPA Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Well looks like the Skins did their "release a guy's name to gage reaction" bit as Joe Barry has not been hired as DC (he could still be) but all the local media guys are saying that a deal hasn't been reached and the team might be looking elsewhere since everyone hated the idea of them hiring Barry
Kuetsar Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 The Slurs ought to ire Jim Schwartz, if he hasn't landed anywhere yet, he's a hellava DC. . .
RIPPA Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 According to a memo sent out by the NFL - they are going to hold the first ever "veteran's combine" at the end of March Basically designed for Veteran FAs
Burgundy LaRue Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 That's one of the better ideas The Shield has come up with recently.
RIPPA Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Apparently guys will apply to attend the combine and the league will pick around 100 guys to attend
glfpunk Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Looks like Scott Linehan is staying in Dallas for a few more seasons. This is a big deal. The top priorities in my opinion were Marinelli as DC and Linehan and they got them both to return. Looks like they will lose Callahan but that's not a big loss with Linehan staying. I attribute a majority of the Cowboys success this season directly to Linehan and the balance he brought to the playcalling. The offense would have never looked like it did with Garrett or Callahan calling the plays. Murray is about to get seriously paid by some team and he owes a lot of that to Linehan. 1
