:fishing: what ideas for DC does anyone have ?
Alot of commentators think KC should stick to the 34 , get a corner and our D will be fine.
How about Singletary - current LB coach at Minnesota.
Well we definitely need a starting CB opposite of flowers, but we also need depth at just about every position on defense, especially corner.
Monte Kiffin
I'd be good with Singletary, or maybe Kevin Greene?? I think our d is gonna be shaken up this off season.
Im not sure if Greene is ready to be a D.Coordinator, but would love someone with his passion and intensity. Especially since I think discipline is the biggest thing our D is lacking, and I dont see Reid as a huge disciplinarian.
Singletary I like for the same reasons. He built that 49ers Defense. He wasnt great at the HC gig, but he built the . What style D did he run (3-4vs4-3).
I think this is the 2nd most critical decision left for the team (1st being what they do at QB). Reid is not a defensive mind and he needs someone who can hold up the defense on their own.
Just heard they are trying to get Juan Castillo as an O-line coach instead of DC... that's interesting.
Castillo has spent most of his career coaching offense. Here is a snippet from his wikipedia page and link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Ca...rican_football)
"Castillo became the defensive coordinator on February 2, 2011.[5] The hiring was met with surprise by players, fans, and members of the media primarily because Castillo had not coached the defensive side of the ball since he was at Kingsville in 1989.[6][7]"
Everybody makes bad decisions that they later regret. I would think that move was one of Coach Reid's. It sounds like he learned from his mistake as he's bringing him as a o line coach again.
How about Jim Leavitt the lb coach for Frisco? He seems to have those guys firing on all cylinders. He hasn't held that position with an nfl team yet (I think) but he might be a goo fit.
Or Jim Tomsula the D line coach for Frisco. We need as strong a dc as we can get. I really don't want to think about all the players we have that won't Fo in a 4-3 defense. It's gonna mean a whole defensive rebuild again :(
i wouldnt mind ron rivera currant panthers head coach he might be getting canned. and has ties with reid. he was d coordinator for the bears and the chargers before getting the head coaching gig at carolina
I was kinda under the impression that Reid had his coaching staff pretty much assembled, maybe I'm mistaken.
I think we should wait a week or two before we start second guessing who his staff is going to be. We really have no idea at this time it is all just wishing and hoping on our part. He may end up keeping some of the coaches that are here right now, we just don't know.
Gunther?? Wouldn't be too bad. Maybe they will get s upstart college guy who wants to jump into the NFL.
I would not mind if he kept romeo as DC
I really disagree in a big way. Not that I believe Romeo can't be a successful DC again, but because the chiefs have a serious "funk" so to speak, and if we don't completely clean the coaching staff out, and get a new feel, than the "funk" will remain. We have to completely change the feel, and the additude, and it wont be an easy task for any one, but if we keep the mental additude this team will forever be in the funk.
For this reason I hope Cassel wont be here next year, even though I think he is better then what he has played. He needs to be gone as well. JMHO

I think who is brought in as DC is one of the most important decisions. Reid is all about scoring points. His big thing is going to be lighting up the scoreboard. If he can do that and we can maintain a fairly stout defense we will be a team that can compete with anyone.
I've been reading that Monte Kiffin is a possibility as DC.
Is monte kiffin a tampa 2 guy? If so i dont want him. I undecided if we shoukd stick with the 34 or go to 4-3. All of our dline and hali were 4-3 guys before. We could have hali, poe,dorsey,jackson and houstin, dj, rookie or houston, monte teo (r), dj. I think we can trade back into 1st round to get a qb. Im mixed about that as well. Its a sucky year to suck.
Also even if we stick with 34 we need another ilb. So anyway you look at it were short one player from either sets.
I'd rather stay at a 3-4. DJ's best seasons are in that defense, Hali is just as good as OLB in a 3-4 maybe better than he is as an undersized DE in a 4-3, Houston is a 3-4 OLB and I'm not sure if he's played in a 4-3
Dorsey and maybe Poe are the only guys who translate we'll to a 4-3 on the DL. There is no guarantee Dorsey will be back too. Jackson would not fit in at all in a 4-3.
Hali was undersized before he lost weight to move to LB. he could go back to DE, but he would have to start bulking up now.
Houston has always been too small to be a DE, he will likely play OLB, probably weak side.
That leaves us with one DE and one OLB spot that has to be filled. DE are hard to find and the good ones cost $$$.
Switching to a 4-3 means we need a DE, OLB, CB, and at least depth at safety, if not a new FS. That's in addition to QBs, WRs, RB, and a backup G/C.
Sticking to a 3-4, though, means on D we don't need a DE, and the 2nd ILB position in a 3-4 is something that can be filled with a mid-late round pick or a mid level free agent, especially since he would rarely be on the field in passing situations. Heck, I'd be satisfied with keeping Siler as the starter for this season.
Moving to a 4-3, in my opinion, would result in a rebuild that takes a couple of years. I'd rather see us stick to a 3-4 and focus on rebuilding the offense.
Yeah id be ok either way. Just dont want to have a tampa 2 defense. Not sure if thats what monte kiffin coaches or not. Besides the way the nfl is going dont think were be in our base 3-4 anyways. Plus 3-4 has more speed then a 4-3.
If Monte Kiffin does come in, will it help that Berry played for him in Tenn.?
Also on the Tampa 2-was not Flowers drafted for that scheme by Herm?
Just questions fellas-go
Yes flowers was but he can play in any sheme. I wouldnt be against taking teo with the first pic then our lbs wohld be one of the top in the league with hali, dj, teo, Houston. Our front 7 would all be high picks houston being the lowest at 3rd pick but was 1sr rd talent.
we do have personel that can transition to a 4-3, we need only a MLB, but also need an ILB for the 3-4. most of our current NT will become DT's along with jackson and dorsey. tamba would move to DE, houston would probably move to OLB or even DE? but more likely OLB. studebaker, bailey, siler, also at DE. not to say we won't need an upgrade at the DE but wehave needed help in the middle for years too. the poe[powe]s may both be better suited at DT w/their speed and size so the change is very doable. although any change on read assignments may take nearly a whole season for them to get comfortable with it
Keep the 3-4 less holes but they must spend money on a cb that plays press man to man. Really this d is suited for namndi asamouh. He was put into a horrible scheme for him in philly he needs tp use his size not play checkers.. Not saying i want namndi but thats the type we need, maybe with the jets salary issues and revis wanted to rework his contract, trade our number one pick to jets for there first and revis?
