Except they wouldn't have Marvin Lewis holding them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakout Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I would like it more if they just named Gunther the defensive coordinator. Let Patterson and Adam focus on their position groups. Let Gunther be the new George Edwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring a deep playoff run. @RaidersAreOneSimilar to what Semper said, although I think a little more highly of him than he does...but, I do agree that he's on the hot seat somewhat. He has to at least make the playoffs to get a reprieve, but if he fails to make the playoffs, he's for sure done. If he makes the playoffs and loses first time out, then it's borderline. Anything above that, then it's more likely he stays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Patterson and Adam focus on their position groups. Let Gunther be the new George Edwards. This could very easily be that. Just different titles. Stripping Patterson and Adam Zimmer of their co-defensive coordinator titles is a slap in the face, and likely hurts their resumé moving forward. Why do that to coaches that you’re employing, and respect? As long as Mike Zimmer is the head coach, this teams defensive coordinator is basically just a title, as Zimmer is the one primarily responsible for the defensive game plan, and he’s the one who calls plays on game day. Paul Guenther coming in as a senior defensive assistant could easily come in and help in a similar role as Edwards, while Patterson and Adam Zimmer spend a little more time with their position groups. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Zimmer, but to this point, he’s not much different than a Marvin Lewis or Jeff Fisher with the every other year swings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I mentioned earlier that the Wilfs have a history of doing this. Also, it’s probably a good indication that they plan on having Reiff on the team in 2021. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think I would invest an early draft choice in his eventual replacement, or in a guard if Cleveland is the LT heir apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in favor of an extension as he played very well last year. We wouldn't have another hole on the OL to fix if Reiff was cut either.
