Thanks. That's a bummer. I'm wondering if Pittsburgh told him something to entice him to turn it down. Like "LeBeau said he's retiring after next year and you'll be assigned DC the following year".

 

man WTF

 

****.

Are we on the horn with Paul yet?

 

Jesus god all of a sudden we got the Bears syndrome and can't get a DC
what the fugg is going on
looks like it will be Bowles :angry:

 

I may be pushing the panic button a bit too quickly, but we may be in trouble with our DC position.

We fired a medicore d-coordinator, most likely for the services of one of 3 canidates.
All three of those canidates are now off the board. I now believe we have to roll the dice with a wildcard.
We could win big, or lose big.

With this I am assuming that Bowles is just Paul-lite.

 

This sucks!

 

maybe Clarence Brooks in Baltimore
he is the DL coach
was already in Miami from 2000-2004
this is just a reach really
tell the truth im just as speechless as i am pissed off
what a disaster this has turned into

 

wouldnt mind seeing them pick someone off the Jets defensesive side of the ball. Somebody that has been around Ryan for a while.

 

:lol:

when down and out t&a always makes things seem a whole lot better :up:

 

I'd take Campo as a fallback guy once the 'Boys are done.

EDIT: on second thought I don't think his philosophy would really mesh with ours but it's possible. Maybe Pagano or Johnson off the Chargers staff.

 

No way he turns us down unless A) He was promised something in Pittsburgh very soon, or B) Family reasons.

 

Looks like were going to have a ****ty defense for the next few years.. I know I know things can happen but unless we get a top flight defensive coordinator no super bowl...

I saw we open the checkbook and grab Baltimores Defensive Coordinator.

 

I don't really see why everyone is getting into a huff about this... the 2009 season isn't even over its not like the 2010 season is starting tomorrow :confused1:

 

is mike nolan available? :shifty:

 

yeah youre right
its only a defensive coordinator
who cares... :shifty:

this is big stuff
we are missing out on the candidates we obviously coveted
you even know the importance of a quality DC

 

Broncos dc

 

I don't think we can do that...

 

Well this sucks:tantrum:

 

Damn, this is discouraging news.

 

The first choice isn't always the best choice. They'll find the right guy.

 

That would be Dennis Thurman:

Hope we get this squared away. I've got faith they'll find the right guy

 

I don't think that there's anything against it, but it would definitely beg the question of "why?". Baltimore can deny us from interviewing him as it'll be a lateral move. But even if they allowed us, why would he leave?

 

$$$$ and he knows REX real well also! Would help us against the Jets etc..

 

DON'T PANIC!!!

Tuna will come down from the box to explain to defenders that they tackle, and cover. If not, they look for other jobs.

Easy enough, over and done. :)

 

If the retread machine has any wheels:

......and if we are just interested in "fire zone" Dick Lebeau relatives. Give Lebeau's Cincinatti Bengals defensive coordinator a go:

There are plenty of qualified candidates out there that are HUNGRY. I'm not too worried about a guy waiting on Dick Lebeau to die.

 

Meh no big deal, some people have different priorities a job promotion isn't always the best thing for them when they have families and are forced to relocate and work with people they do not even know. I could see alot of reasons for Butler wanting to stay in Pitt. seeing as he knows he will eventually be taking over there why go through all the hassle and take a chance on coming here when he's already got a sure thing there.

I don't see any reason to panic, it's only been a few days, i'd much rather see them take thier time to find the right guy rather than just rush into things and be stuck with a piss poor DC for another 2 years.

 

I honestly think there are rules that we have to offer them a promotion if we "steal" them, so to speak.

 

I totally agree. I am sure one of the playoff teams has a guy we have our eye on. I don't think it will be Bowles, if he was a viable option he would have already been in the mix. He was a HC candidate last year and now nothing...

 

Yep.
