Didn't the niners suck with him as HC?? Why would we want that at defensive coordinator. Lets get someone good

Didn't Mike McCarthy struggle with the Niners as a OC.. but took us one game short of the Superbowl last year?

DC to HC is like apples to oranges.. kinda like my argument against Moss as the DC.. I would accept him in the new role even though based on the Backers performance over his watch has been up and down.. more leaning to the down.

BTW.. with this news flashing that Mike McCarthy is throwing out a wide cast net, one must really wonder if retaining Moss is nothing more than a favor at this point to him. Can't be overly attractive to have a Backer and Assistant HC hanging over an incoming DC. Just a thought.

After some thought, I am fine with whatever scheme they choose to run, both have been proven to be effective with the right gent running the show.. and of all the names being kicked around.. I am fine with any of the choices.. this Johnson fellow, need to read more about him though...

Anyway.. point being, we need to wrap this up, set a direction and get the scouting staff hopping on fits talent wise along the D front seven and offensive line to the direction..

Regardless of whom takes over, we need an influx of the proper talent.. whether that is draft picks or FA.

Let's Roll this offseason.

I agree that either scheme is ok as long as the man in charge knows what hes doing. I like that Mike is looking for someone who isn't locked into one style. But I don't agree that we need to go ahead and get this process over with.

Take your time. Get the right guy for the job. Don't base the decision on anything but how well he can preform in Green Bay. Not time, not money, not anything but his ability. If that means waiting till the playoffs are over, so that every candidate is available... then so be it.

Gregg Williams seems a little bit more of a sexy pick than Nolan. I just want pressure from whoever we sign.

Mike Nolan was hired late Sunday night / early Monday morning by new Broncos HC Josh McDaniels to become the DC of the Broncos, reports Adam Schefter.

So that's one name off the list.

Okay, Nolan is off the board, I'm fine with that.

According to Williams' agent Williams has a "strong interest" in the New Orleans DC job.

McDermott can't interview until the Eagles are eliminated which could be 3 weeks if they go to the SB.

Moss is still on board but interviewing for HC jobs.

This process could take much longer than expected which isn't a good sign.

McDermott's departure can be easily blocked by the Eagle's FO, if the job offer is anything less than a HC position. He has another year on his contract. I don't think we, or any other team, should count on McDermott.

We can get around that easily enough my making him the Defensive Coordinator/Asst Head Coach. like we did with Moss.

Or is there some rule prohibiting having two Asst Head Coaches?

Anyway, I'm glad the Broncos got Nolan. I felt good about him at first, but I think that was just because his last name wasn't Sanders...

Well Nolan and the Broncos played this one close to the vest, eh? A few days ago a number of reporters were saying that GB was Nolan's only option, and that there were no other rumors out there about other teams being interested.

since69, I could be wrong on this, but I thought the only way to assure that the eagles would be unable to block the move is to make mcdermott the HC. that is what I think i heard, so i certainly could be wrong on that.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (8h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (15h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (15h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (15h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (15h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Philly DL has come to play
