Romeo Crennel As Defensive Coordinator - SP Fired Spagnuolo

[houstonwhodat]

Sean Payton ain't playing around.

He just got reinstated this week and today he fired DC Steve Spagnuolo and said they are moving to a 3-4.

Lots of Saints fans think they should hire Romeo.

What's your honest opinion of that?

Seemed like Romeo was lost as a HC but don't really know his history as a DC.

Please elaborate.

Wasn't Spags a DBs coach anyways?

Regardless, he, like Fewell have made their names off of having excellent pass rushers.

And he's still one hell of an experienced positions coach.

I'm not sure what's reeruned about any of what I said.

He was a LBs coach for the Eagles as well. The reason I brought his name up as someone I'm sure Reid would have considered, if Spags was fired earlier.

Didn't know he was a LBs coach too, thought it was just DBs.

While I could see Reid hiring him in some capacity, I wouldn't really want it. JMHO

You put Crennel's defense with a high-powered offense and he could do well.

His bend-don't break defense won't force the other team to make mistakes unless you have a lead.

You're reeruned.

You've always been reeruned.

You're a verbose douche **** that thinks he knows more than anyone and everyone else, due to your verbosity, but you're still reeruned.

You're exactly like Blackbob, except your vocabulary is slightly more extensive.

But make no mistake: You are a reerun.

He's not a great DC.

Not even close anymore actually.

Let's be honest, any team that was beaten by the Chiefs last year was not that close to making the playoffs.

I... don't understand how anything I said justified this kind of a response. But okay.

By the way, on Spagnuolo. Pretty shitty situation to be fired after what the Saints went through.

It's a shame the Chiefs have Gibbs. I'd take Spagnuolo as a LBs coach in a heartbeat.

Yeah, real shame we have a guy who's improved the talent at the position and done his job exceptionally well.

Are you for ****ing real?

Make no mistake. Saying you're sad we have Gibbs because you'd rather have Spagnulo when Gibbs has done a wonderful job here is ****ing stupid.

[The Bad Guy]

Romeo's going to have a hell of a time in NO. That's not a talented defense and not one that's going to make a smooth transition to a 3-4.

Ok, fair enough. That was probably not the right way to say it.

Yup.

[The Bad Guy]

Spags had one good run with the Giants. He was a product of Jim Johnson, much like Sean McDermott when he was a position coach.

His schemes last year were ****ing horrible.

He's another coordinator that needs elite talent, ala Gunther, to produce.
