I like this!

it'd be good, but... he's not available. Still DC of the Browns. He also has expressed his desire to be a head coach as recently as this last off season.
thats the biggest reason why i wouldn't waste time with him. He will be gone after one year
Really? Is he linked to any HC openings this season?
idk, he's still under contract

but i'm responding to the ones who keep bringing him up if he was available. If we did sign him and it looks like we should get better on D, no doubt there would be interviews for HC in 2026. leaving us with no DC again. The juice aint worth the squeeze is what i'm saying

His desire to be a HC again is irrelevant there has to be mutual interest,zero evidence that he'd be in play for future HC positions.

Keeping Sorensen absolutely guarantees a DC search in 26.

zero evidence.. looks at the people that are getting interviews now. To say he comes here and we do well on D, he gets zero interviews ?

my post has nothing to do with Sorensen

Not as much as he did early on in his career. He blitzed less on average than Wilks did with the 49ers last year. The more I think about him, the more he makes sense. He's not getting hired away for a HC job anytime soon, or likely ever again. He's an experienced DC that like Fangio and Spagnuolo has found his groove, has a consistent approach and got good results most of his time with the Saints. If you bring him in you potentially have a DC locked in for years to come.

As a bonus, his familiarity with Darren Rizzi might even help entice him to come onboard as special teams coordinator.

Also Allen had Brady's number constantly.

Would really love to get a long term DC in Allen & a great special teams guy in Rizzi

f**k it if Shanahan is down to hire Dennis Allen I'm all for it. I'd take anyone over Sorensen and his scary cat play calls.

How about Antonio Pierce. Seems like players responded to his coaching style. I know the defense gave 💯 for him. The overall team talent just wasn't there.

Antonio Pierce knows nothing about Xs and Os. He's a CEO head coach that has lost the Raiders this season. He is also a borderline criminal for what he did while at ASU.

If they're replacing Sorensen after a year then I want to see a veteran playcaller brought in, not another first timer.

Tf he knows about XO's!? We don't need another singletary cheerleader not knowing how to put the players in the best way to succeed and make plays. Grown ass men making millions tune that s**t out eventually especially when the results on the field are lacking

Dennis Allen has got to be the pick. I really hope it's not Ulbrich, although I think he'd be a great sr asst and positional coach for us.
Jan 7, 2025 at 7:14 PM
I think we're getting Saleh back. But Ulbrich and Anarumo could be in the mix if he declines.
