Shady Slim 1,454 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 tomsula is a really good DL coach, and who ever gets him off the scrap heap for that job will be laughing, as others have said above me. i kind of feel sorry for him that his years of being slept on with the WFT d line because they were always injured led him to dallas, and then the WFT DL finally manages to get healthy and prove to the world how good they are lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Classic Mike Nolan. Complete disregard for what his players can do, hes just going to run his scheme The guy is STILL living off of being baltimore's DC in like 2003/04 lol He is not a good coach and I expect him to not find another job (unless he goes into scouting) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What happened to him wasn't he pretty good last season or the season before?? As for Mike Nolan the dude has pretty much failed everywhere lately I remember him being terrible years ago for Falcons as well and was fired I think that may have been his last stop before Dallas.

He should be in high demand. He got the most out of Randy Gregory this year and had Aldon Smith looking like he was shot out of a gun for at least the first few games this year. Hes still a really good DL coach. Mike Nolan was dead in the water midway through the season when there were reports of essentially an open rebellion by Cowboys defensive players. The funny thing is, even an average NFL fan could tell you players were regularly blowing assignments. Mike Nolan may not be a good DC, but the miserable Dallas defense is only partially his fault. Maybe he was completely unable to motivate and teach those guys, and it was mostly his fault? Who knows. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did the actual playcalling stink too? Sure would've liked to keep Jones, but making him the highest paid corner in the league at over 20mil/year for a guy who never gets an interception No thanks.

Jaylon doesnt stick to his gap assignment, plays hero ball, this leaving big holes. Kinda reminds me of our former safety Roy "biscuit" Williams. Takes too many chances on the big play, and leaves himself out of position. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At whatever point Nolan said 3-4, everyone should have said there's no offseason and we don't have the players. Our best and highest paid defensive player is a 4-3 DE build around him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm not one to say that everything is his fault. However, his constant meddling in affairs and need to be in the spotlight undermines any staff he puts in place and enables the players. Look no further than Jaylon Smith's comments and his constant need to celebrate after making inconsequential plays while getting burned consistently. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But we have five first-round picks on the defensive line, if they weren't good there would be a huge problem. Tomsula was the only coach I felt that we needed to retain, and was disappointed that we didn't. Instead, Rivera just hired most of his Carolina staff. Some have proven themselves well, others have not. Our only holdover coach at RB has done pretty damn good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
