minutemancl Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 If Wink were to land a head coaching job this offseason, would Drew Wilkins go with him to become the DC, or do you think there is a chance he'd get offered the DC job here and stay with us? I'd have to imagine he'd go with Wink, but I'd hate to switch defensive schemes after 1 year. Plus, I really like Wink's defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to imagine he'd go with Wink, but I'd hate to switch defensive schemes after 1 year. Plus, I really like Wink's defense. I imagine he leaves as well. If he was here longer, then he may consider staying. How many defenses stay good once the architect leaves? I still have nightmares about Bill Sheridan These are the defenses that promoted someone after the previous DC left. Steelers- Teryl Austin (2019-21 secondary coach) promoted after Keith Butler retired. Has 4 years of previous NFL DC exp. Current rank 10 ppg. Titans- Shane Bowen (OLB Coach 2018-2020), became play caller in 2020. DC in 2021. Vrabel still has a big hand in the defense. Clint Hurtt (2017-2021 AHC/DL) promoted after Ken Norton was fired. 25th ranked defense Saints and Bucs have co DCs after their current HC got promoted. Then we have demeco Ryan who has been with the 49ers since 2017 and their #1 ranked defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acgott Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Two members of our beat think Giants go outside hire for OC if Kafka is hired, due to lack of experience from Shea Tierney. Dunleavy mentions Drew Wilkins could be hired as DC. @minutemancl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunleavy mentions Drew Wilkins could be hired as DC. @minutemancl If we lose Kafka, I'd love if Daboll went outside again for OC. I'd honestly prefer that over the internal promotion. Drew Wilkins as DC for another team this offseason? Or if Wink leaves he could be our DC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd honestly prefer that over the internal promotion. Drew Wilkins as DC for another team this offseason? Or if Wink leaves he could be our DC? Wilkins would be our DC, if Wink leaves. From the post article above. Quote Martindale told Daboll about Wilkins last offseason that “if it doesn’t work out with me, you need to hire this guy. He is a special talent in this league.” They spent nine seasons together on the Ravens’ staff and outside linebacker Jihad Ward, who played under Wilkins in both places, refers to Wilkins as “Wink Jr. — a good teacher who wants to see everyone win and get better.” “This is New York — this is where you want to be,” Wilkins said. “This is a spot I always wanted to live, and coaching at the Giants is prestigious. I probably wasn’t going to make it on Broadway, so this is my best opportunity. From a fantasy football perspective, you look at it like, ‘This guy goes there and this guy goes there,’ but there’s a very real-life element to it, all of my family truly loving it here.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Good stuff. I mentioned before I'd love to keep Wilkins if Wink left. As far as OC, that article mentions the other 2 finalists for the OC job last offseason- Pep Hamilton and Chad O'Shea. I think Chad O'Shea would be an awful choice while I'd love the Pep Hamilton choice. So if it were to come down to those 2 guys again, I know who I'd prefer. Although honestly, I'd always like Mike Lafleur, who the Jets just fired, or Jay Gruden, who has been hiding out on the Rams staff. Dabs seems to have an interest in taking pieces from other coaches and working them into his offense. I think that would work well with what Jay or Mike could bring.

Acgott Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 This is interesting, though a very risky hire with one year of QB Coach experience. I doubt that happens, but I’m sure the interview experience is super valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acgott Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Texans and Broncos hired Ryans and Payton leaving Cardinals (Kafka) and Colts (Kafka/Wink). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I have no idea what the Colts are going to do. They are absolutely a wild card. I feel like the Cardinals should be favored to tab Anarumo or Flores over Kafka though. But we'll see! I really hope we can keep the entire coaching staff together.

minutemancl Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I am hoping Brian Flores gets that Cardinals job and the Colts hire anyone but Wink. But I really think we may end up losing both coordinators to the only 2 HC openings right now, which would just be brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
