I saw the name of this topic when I typed in packershome.com and I saw "Sanders Fired" ....All I did was smile.

I'd like to see us go in the direction of hiring a former head coach. Mike Nolan, Jim Haslett, and Romeo Crennel all would be viable candidates in my book.

---

While I think all of those guys are competent DCs, I'd cross Crennel and Nolan off the list on grounds that they run a 3-4. This defense needs tweeks here and there, not a drastic overhaul in scheme. I would be open to Haslett though.

---

Wow, Crennel has some experience as a ST coach. We could try and talk him into that....but I doubt he'd want to do that.

I wouldn't mind having Mike Nolan as our DC, either.

---

This is mostly bad news, imo. This means we have some of the trouble that we great thinkers in here are suspicious of.

I say go after Nolan as fast as they can, unless they have something else better in mind.

---

I say stay away from Nolan, and Crennel. not proven winners and there defenses were hardly tough to beat as head coaches. Crennel and Weis both rode Belicheats coattails.... I think Moss will get the job, but im really not sure hes the best option.


Think outside the box. bring in someone who has a fresh scheme and knows how to implement it. No more reruns or has beens...we need fresh blood. Ted and Mike arent stupid and they will find the right guy... this much i believe.

Sorry Sanders :(

I hope we get a proven successful coordinator.

Yay Happy Dance!

Best of luck to Sanders in his future endeavors but this was a much needed change.

---

If anyone hears where Sanders ends up, will someone please post it?
