If he gets replaced I hope they replace him with someone with a LB background. Sorensen just like Wilks seemingly focused on the back end but was pretty vanilla on the front end. Its not surprising that long term secondary coaches would focus primarily on the secondary when it comes to playcalling. DL coaches that move to DC tend to focus upfront to the exclusion of the secondary which leads to a lot of vanilla on the back end.

I think LB coaches have the best balance in that they have to focus both on coverage and rushing the QB. Saleh and Ryans both were far more creative when it came to stunts and traps up front, utilizing the DL creatively. Similarly a DC like Spagnuolo came from a combined secondary and LB coaching background.

Eberflus, Ulbrich and Gym Shorts. But I don't think Cleveland is letting Shorts go.

If Gym Shorts is available they should do everything possible to bring him in. If he signed a standard two year contract in 2023 then that means he'd be up in a week or so. Gym Shorts has always done well against Kyle's offenses so having that guy in the building, not only scheming against opposing offenses but also helping with self-scouting and analysis would be such a huge boost.

I hope I'm wrong but I've already resigned myself to the thought that Kyle isn't firing Sorenson after one season after he already did that with Wilks.

Good call - he'd help in more ways than one. Would be great if he were available and they could bring him in.

Even though I think he's d******d, I'd love to see what he could do with this defense. And an offense that doesn't have a s**tty Deshaun Watson backing him up.
Should label his defense 24/7 cause someone is always open
If I'm Jed York I'm ordering Shanahan to fire Sorensen. If not Shanny can get fired too
Another name I'd be interested in is the Chiefs LB coach Brendan Daly, he's been around the NFL a long time and has worked under a lot of top defensive coaches including Belichick and Spagnuolo.
Never seen a team take such horrific angles

how about we hire someone first, then decide what to do with anyone else

Have Jim Harbaugh put in a good word for us.

I don't think he'll come here because for some reason I feel him and Kyle don't mesh well with one another, but thats just my opinion. I would like the hire if they did go after him though.

Shorts is not the guy.. he may be good against Kyle, but the rest of the league keeps him moving from job to job
