Sasquatch Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 So what I’m reading in this forum is that folks don’t want a retread, he should be young not old, should have a plethora of coaching experience in the NFL, the Big 10 is or is not a viable proving ground, and he should come from a very specific coaching tree (Ryan, Kiffen, Pees, Phillips, etc). We may be ****ed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15412 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 My guess is we hire a younger D-Coordinator but also hire an elder to be a "Senior Defensive Analyst". That's the new jive in the NFL lately. Wade might be a good fit for the later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His experience as a quality all pro d back speaks for itself. He's young, aggressive and energetic .. all good traits. I'd take a chance on this "classic example" of a hometown guy than a lot of the old retreads that keep showing up. Your faith is tough to satisfy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted this earlier: Quote I've soured on Matt Burke because as Miami's defensive coordinator he failed to get a very talented Miami defence to play well enough. He had the likes of Kiko Alonso, Cameron Wake, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Bobby McCain, Reshad Jones, Jerome Baker, Raekwon McMillan, Robert Quinn and Xavien Howard and he still could not get his defence to perform. They were ranked 29th in total defence. Yikes! If he can't do it with them what makes us think he can do it with our talented players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodjahs12 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I could just as easily be wrong about Leonhard. I won’t pretend to have a deep understanding of his philosophy but it’s a massive risk I really don’t feel is worth taking with the window we have left. If he ends up being in over his head, it’s going to take at least 2-3 seasons for him to get fired and I just don’t think we have that kind of time to figure it out.

I don't care if they hire Leonard or not ... just want the best aggressive coach who can scheme and utilize players to their fullest. I trust the Packer brass to do so.

Can't have anybody "new without experience" and nobody "old" as a retread. Again, I trust the Packer brass to do their due diligence and get the guy to do the job.
