What names are out there for Def Coordinator?

[cjsfw2]

Now that Haley has been named our guy at HC, the importance of the Def Coordinator has skyrocketed because Haley is "offensive minded". So who are the possible names out there as someone who can turn around a terrible, but young, defense including the worst pass rush?

Gruden is an offensive coach.

Very offensive.

I think we have to remember that the poor performance of our defense is due in large part to the defensive scheme we were running.

exactly..john gruden couldn't have been any worse then gunther

i think we can rule butler out



The Cardinals new defensive coordinator likely will be a familiar face after the leading outside candidate elected to stay in his current job. The Steelers granted permission for linebackers coach Keith Butler to interview with the Cardinals, but Butler decided to stay in Pittsburgh, according to an NFL source. It's not clear if Butler was offered the job with the Cardinals. Coach Ken Whisenhunt has interviewed linebackers coach Bill Davis and secondary coach Teryl Austin for the coordinator's job. KTAR reported last Friday that Davis had been selected, but that was before the Cardinals had received permission to speak with Butler."

Anyone from Pitt. should now be ruled as highly unlikely as its been reported on ESPN that management has ruled to keep the coaching staff intact for the 09 season for the forseeable future so far.
