I'm pleased to see ML looking for an up-and-comer and not a retread. If the guy can call a game and teach and inspire, I'm OK with it.No Parker went there under Fanigo>> saw a quote from Joseph talking about that and how he bounced the Fangio scheme stuff off of Parker thus ML intrigue
That's why I like Babich....I want no more to do with Fangio scheme if we can help it. Need to move on

He's not a first order disciple really, plus he's so young. He might have his own way of doing it. So much inbreeding among coaches, it's hard to completely purge the bloodlines.

46 would get worked with the spread them out offenses run now
So I am just going to put this out here, if it ticks some folks off so be it but it needs to be said. I am not sure everyone fully understands the DC job strategically. The "it needs to be innovative " junk is kind of well junk.
As a DC I am playing chess with the guy across the field calling the offensive plays, even IF you are an aggressive defense it's still from a reactive position per se. The real work is leading up to each game, looking at tendencies, what they do by formation, etc. If they use motion to check coverage we would install a silent switch so that the QB wouldn't have an easy get-on man or zone looks.... your fronts need to match coverage...I could go on and on.
Here's the point, the best DC are generally not the "new " guys with new ideas( that cracks me up) or the old tried and true ones either. The very best staff and coordinators work hard week after week on the details going into a game, their preparation is exceptional and their work ethic is off the charts. If you add that with solid leadership qualities you'll generally find a great coach.

The young lady said no. Stop asking her out. Other fish in the sea.
