You're like not even close. Go hit the showers.

Do you just go around constantly making shit up? Why don't you show me the post where I said that he was the 1A-certified best choice?

Why don't you show me where I shit all over your Steve Wilks thread, too.

He's getting that from when they took Mathias Kiwanuka and used him that way.

His contract says he can only interview for HC jobs.

You know who else won SBs as DC: Peter Giunta and Greg Robinson.

You know what Dick Vermeil said when people criticized Greg Robinson: "He's won Super Bowls. You haven't."

How'd that work out for Dick Vermeil?

Lol philly fan cmon now

It’s kind of interesting

He’d be around the los a lot

Iirc, it’s similar to what the broncos did with von under wade

Didn't both of the Pagano's ride Rex Ryans coat tails into jobs?

The bigger risk is that his scheme just doesn't work anymore in the NFL. It is, after all, the old version of the scheme we're trying to move away from.

If Spags has that level of control over his position coaches he might want someone more experienced, especially considering all of Reid's experience is with the 3-4.

Just spitballing but I wouldn't be surprised to see Brit Reid "reassigned" to "defensive line assistant."

Richard has garnered a ton of respect from around the league, and if the Cowboys want to keep him onboard, they'll have to make it worth his while. Per NFL rules, however, they can veto the request by the Jets and any other team right now, making it no guarantee anyone outside of Dallas will have access to him during the playoffs and while he's still under contract. That gives the Cowboys the definitive edge in keeping him longterm, along with other variables they used to attract him to the position in the first place. There's a caveat though, because if the Jets are interviewing him for the head coaching job, the Cowboys can't say no because it's not a lateral move.

However they've written up his contract, any interview that is not for a HC position is a lateral move and the Cowboys can block it.

One of the guys you listed wasn’t an option and the other has never been a DC in their life with no ties to Reid at all, so they pretty much weren’t either.

So yes, Pagano was essentially the best you could come up with.

Source? Associate/Assistant HC would not be a promotion?

That's an odd take.

Bienemy was an RB coach and now a coordinator. I’m sure he can adjust to coaching the same position a different way. Especially when you’re only in the base 1/3 of the time.
