Want an interesting name to throw into the ring.. Darren Perry.. Dbacks coach in Oakland.

Learned 3-4 under LeBeau in Pittsburgh and 4-3 under Rob Ryan in Oakland. Both very successful coaches on the defensive side of the ball.. Perry himself.. you might remember him as the heady safety on the mid 90's Steeler's defenses that wasn't as physically talented as he played.. right along side of Rod Woodson.

A guy that has learned under both styles that could very well adapt a scheme that could take advantage of the players strengths upon the club.

Ooohhhh, I like that choice.

Namely because he's worked with Nnamdi Asomough, who just so happens to be a FA. Perhaps hiring Perry would lay the foundation for Nnamdi to eventually become a Packer? Maybe not this year, but next year... ?

*drools*

Since it hasn't even been touched yet, you guys see anyone in the college ranks? :lol: I feel a little queasy even mentioning it..

Man.....i don't know how good Chuck Cecil would be a a DC, but i remember watching him on the field......he would knock the snot out of anyone that came near him.

Bud Foster - Virginia Tech. One of the best in the business as far as college goes. Intense, and assignment sure, his teams always come to play.

I'm not liking the whole Nolan thing, the Niners sucked for a while and he got fired. He may be a good guy but, cmon now. Singletary is doing better with them.

I'm actually surprised that it took this long to let this staff go. This was a defense that missed too many assignments and just wasn't fundamentally sound.

Well to McCarthy's credit he said he wanted to review and assess the performance of the positions/coaches before making any decisions, so this wasn't just a rash "screw y'all!" move, which comforts me a little bit.

To Nolan's defense, Ray Rhodes sucked as HC, but thrives as a DC.
