All young guys, liking the philosophy. 

#1 Question for them all, sidelines or coaches box?

How about a young guy with some DC background .. Leon Hard!

Aden Durde kind of looks like my local shawarma guy, and there are few people I trust more, in my life 

The only thing better than a filthy defense is a Durde one

this resume?

•Wisconsin (2017–2022) Defensive coordinator & defensive backs coach

•Illinois (2023) Senior football analyst

 

Ehhh feels like a lot of wishful thinking by Badgers fans wanting him in GB in the poll.

I’m not saying he’s not a legit candidate. He’d clearly be an upgrade from Barry but so would Marvin Berry lol. 

Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but that first post sounds a lot like someone who's questioning whether Leonhard is a legit candidate.

Yeah .. I don't get it either.  He's a great candidate.

Would imagine Durde and Babich are 4-3 guys too. Potentially big news for those who have wanted the switch back.

I wouldn’t absolutely hate Staley because he’s young enough to want to try again as head coach, but I’d still kinda hate it. I could convince myself it wasn’t a poor choice at least.

Babbich intrigues me. Would love our current roster with a 4-3 look.

Damn, I still remember the nightly shawarma runs we would make from our camp outside of Riyadh during Desert Storm.  Crazy delicious.

The Packers rarely fall into NFL fads. They did with the 3-4. All benefits to the 3-4 defense have gone, leaving the benefit in the 4-3.

Today, prototypical 4-3 defensive ends are overlooked based on coach preference on coverage abilities.

I’d love to see Gary/Clark/Wyatt/LVN with Preston as the Sam. Still be able to use his coverage ability while having a fifth plus rusher.

I think there's something specific about the Shanahan offensive scheme that requires a specific type of defence to pair it with.

Packers, Rams, Miami all have Shanahan offences and Fangio defences. 49ers and Jets had Saleh with whatever scheme he runs, I assume something akin to Seattle 4-3 under which the Legion of Boom played in because Saleh was in Seattle and followed Gus Bradley to Jacksonville. To be fair i;m not sure if that was a Gus Bradley scheme or a Dan Quinn scheme.

I'm think the reason for this is that they have high powered offences which means scoring points quickly so they would need a defence that can stay on the field a long time, burn the clock without giving up big points hence the "bend but don't break" defences that we employ. It allows the offence to have a breather in between possessions.

A defence that is too effective, generating lots of 3 and outs would mean the offence would be on the field alot. It's all about striking the right balance of all three phases of the game. This is something that fans under appreciate when choosing coordinators. A run first, control the clock offence would need a high powered defence. A high powered offence would need a bend but don't break defence. That's the theory i'm going with anyway.

With that logic in mind i'm unsure what defence Saleh employs because if it's 4-3 under then it is an explosive defence which should not mesh well with Shanahan offences. Seattle in their prime was a run first, control the clock offence and it was paired with an absolutely dominant defence.

It's not surprising that all three teams, the Packers, Rams and Miami have interviews lined up with Brandon Staley.

If we want a 4-3 defence am I right in guessing we do not want a Dan Quinn type defence because Shanahan offences completely destroy them. If we want to get past the 49ers and Rams then it would be a bad match. What 4-3 defensive scheme should we be looking for instead and what coaches are available for it?

His named popped up the other day when I was reading. I think it was Vance Joseph that raved about him.

[Leader]

Who's pulling the trigger on this decision?

MLF alone...or is Gute involved in any way?

Had a feeling that was going to be an interview as well.

Yeah I posted a link about him, started as a quality control guy here under Pettine. Hackett took him to Denver so he worked under Eviro and now Joseph. 

I still think it's too early for him, but we'll see, I thought it was early for Eviro.
