I can't see the benefit. If things don't improve and fast with Pettine and his scheme ... the results of doing nothing will be a heck of a lot worse than making the change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That written, I don't have any names to toss out because I don't have a clue who that might be. Maybe somebody from college like Jim Leonhard? I think I might lose my ish if Jim Leonhard is mentioned as a possible DC possibility again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 I would just like to mention that Jim Leonhard is a possible DC possibility. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonKarman Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Fire Pettine, keep Gray as secondary Coach and upgrade a guy like Mike Smith and put him as the interim and see how it develops. If it doesn't work hire a young guy from Baltimore/Tamps/Pittsburg staff in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 150 million dollars spent on Smith, Smith and Clark. 12th overall spent on Rashan Gary. 16th overall on Jaire Alexander to cover. 21st overall on Darnell Savage to cover. 50 million spent on Amos to cover. Dropping Preston Smith and Kenny Clark multiple time, rushing 3 multiple times, 9 players in coverage on 2nd and 8 and still allowing a first down completion, 2 pressures on 28 drop backs... Pettine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you trying to say:) Pet for Prez? Unless he's running a conservative approach based on what MLF wants he needs to go back to what he did here year 1. Put pressure on the QB. Make him alone beat us, and at worst have him getting up off the ground multiple times. QB's other that Favre don't really like getting hit.

Questions I would love to hear beat reporters ask: MLF, what's up with the defense and why did the pass rush take a major step back this year? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ****ing said this would happen. You don’t get your *** handed to you to the tune of 200 plus rushing yards and 35 plus points when the QB only attempts 8 passes if you have a good coordinator.

packfanfb Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) The bold move would be to fire him now, rip off the band-aid and try something new. Instead, the odds are far better that Pettine will be the DC here for the next 3 years. Edited October 22, 2020 by packfanfb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaider Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Are there any defense minded head coaches losing their jobs this year? Dan Quinn is already gone. Usually they get head coach gigs due to being one of the best coordinators. Sometimes, they should just be a coordinator like Wade Philips.
