Spagnuolo is looking good (Defense)

[redsk1]

While I agree that 1 year as a DC doesn't make a coach, from all reports the guy is pretty impressive. He spent 7 years (i believe, w/out looking it up) working as a position coach under Jim Johnson (Eagles). So, it's not as if he's a newbie. So i wouldn't be that upset.

Now, why would we bring him in when we already have a DC in Blache? Maybe Spags has a problem w/ it and Danny Boy would just let Blache have a DC title for kicks-like last year. I just don't know anymore.

That part doesn't make much sense to me either. You would think that Spags would be heavily involved with the D if he came here, and with Blache I'm not sure he would be very happy to have a hands on HC. Unless their defensive philosophies are similar... which I really don't know.

Unless Lil' Danny doesn't care who the new coach wants as a D-coordinator.

Well it really wouldn't matter what Snyder wants, the decision would have to come from Spagnuolo as to whether he would be comfortable with that setup or not. Or maybe he's already approved the setup. Who knows?
