What happened that caused him producing defenses that put up these numbers to not returning to New England as DC and not getting a DC job anywhere else? Belichick didn't even name a defensive coordinator for the 2010 season, and didn't actually name a new DC until Patricia in 2012. That question and Ravens fans detesting him despite the numbers suggesting at least a solid defense make me worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSS Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 As a numbers guy, I think there is a lot to be optimistic about. The only thing that really has me down on him is his age and that he was retired, but his resume is very impressive. If we're going to have a first year HC and potentially a first year OC, it's probably best to have some experience on the defensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I poised that same question myself and my best guess is that they didn't want him back, but titanrick found an article that mentioned him having some sort of heart health issue and actually missing the end of the season. If that is the case, and he didn't come back due to uncertainty regarding his health, that would be more comforting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great If the letter is accurate, it didn't mention what position he is taking. Probably taking some no-name assistant position for 30k a year.

Great eh, that's nfl standard operating procedure. if he's a good DC, i won't care. but that's, uh, a big if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSS Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The statistics and rankings favor him heavily. Here's to hoping the Browns aren't so bad that they skewed them entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm. Feels kind of off given he still took a spot on a coaching staff like 2 weeks later. LB coach is a step down from DC in terms of workload, but any coaching position on an NFL staff is extremely demanding, but maybe it took enough off of him for him to be more comfortable.

Not sure you want to be so green across the top 3 (HC, OC & DC). OC will be a much different direction, someone more green. Going with Pees makes sense, even if only for 2-3 years is the plan (and he does a good job). Just the mechanics of getting things done day to day, you want a bit of experience on the staff. The numbers speak well of Pees, let's hope the rest does as well. I'm ready to finally have a 21st century offense. Think that'll happen and we'll have a guy that will add excitement there.

TitanSlim Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If you believe Vrabel is hiring his buddies/guys he knows, then I wonder if Kevin O'Connell is a darkhorse for our OC spot. Played with Vrabel in NE. Has a history with Mariota(trained and set up his pro day workout during the draft process). Was the QB coach for the Browns the same year DeFilippo was the OC. Had a year assistanting under Chip Kelly fwiw. If we don't get DeFilippo or DeFilippo is not our target for OC, it wouldn't surprise me if O'Connell's name pops up.
