I don't particularly like the notion of hiring a former Dallas coach. I did like Norv since he'd never been a HC before becoming to Washington but to hire a former Dallas HC as our defensive coordinator would be messed up.

True, and who knows, he probably wouldn't have come, but he is one of the best 3-4 guys out there.

If we can't throw oodles of cash at Wade, what about Nolan... oh yeah, that bridge is probably burned too

I wouldn't want Mike Nolan either. When he was the Redskins DC in the late 90s, those defenses were at the bottom of the NFL in yards allowed. That was the biggest of Norv Turner's failings during his tenure as Redskins head coach. He had a powerful offense but no defense to stop the opposing offense which is why Turner's record was a dismal 39-59-1 as Redskins HC.

Maybe he has learned a little, as he has been DC on some very effective defensive turnarounds (Denver Miami, and now Atlanta). I do wonder why he doesn't stick in one place too long. Probably a red flag.

If my memory doesn't fail me. Nolan did good in DC for a couple years then all of a sudden his defense fell apart.
