Falconof Shadows Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Maybe not as big news as all the HC positions that just filled but he interviewed for a few DC roles including ATL seems like a solid hire for the Falcons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Is this a co-defensive coordinator type thing? They just hired the Saint's DL coach as DC, is this senior advisor-y or potentially more DC like but the other guy got the title to steal him from the Saints? The game the Packers DC got I think COVID and missed, Gray called a good game. He's been a good coordinator before too. I like the hire, I just don't get the role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assistant Head Coach on defense side. Every team has two assistant head coach positions, one each. Optionally.

FalconFan13 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 He is a assistant Head coach and defensive backs secondary coach. Where as Nielson is the full defensive coordinator who will be calling the plays. With Jerry as a advisory for if he needs any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a huge boost to Shane Bowen to have Jim Schwartz. Could be a similar deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They almost had to give him that role because if it was just a DB coach it would have been a lateral move from GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like a senior defensive advisor/Assistant HC role. Someone to help guide Nielsen as a DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda crazy Jerry Gray didn't just get a DC role of his own, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was offered that role and turned it down for this one from what I've heard. So that is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
