I imagine a lot, also the fact that we have issues in both the offense and special teams.

I'm convinced that Barry is not the right guy for this job.

My guess is some of the bigger names may have not wanted to come--it's a shit D, talent-wise, and DC has a reputation of being a place where folks get scapegoated for organizational problems. Who would want that job? They all probably were asking for 4-5 years guaranteed big money, and that's not gonna happen, I suppose. Why not go to a good D and a functional organization? Wade may have come, but I think he'd want big money and there seems to be worry about his age (not my worry, but whatever).

So they went with Barry who at the very least is motivated to clear his good name after the stink of the Lions and who seems well-liked in SD at his position. Plus, he's a known commodity--the up-side of the good ole boy thing is that you know to a good degree what you're getting. An organization that works well together is something we've rarely had here, just sayin. Plus, he agreed to come. Snyder's money can't buy everything and it may be that BA is starting to feel tired of paying all these coaches to sit on couches and watch the tube.

My bottom line: we need better talent on the field. If Barry works, fine. If not, when we've got some legit talent, we'll get somebody better. WE ARE YEARS AWAY, folks. Remember that.

I am very confused.

Step 1...hire the best GM available
Step 2...hire the worst DC available

One step forward...one step back (keeping Morris would make 2)

[Ruhskins]

By the way, I believe Barry was hired by the Chargers when AJ Smith was their GM.

Apparently, Barry had a great interview. Translation: Winning off the field (again). Smh

Hey now, he has energy!

[Ruhskins]

I guess it wasn't meant to be. I guess people forget it takes both sides to have an interest for someone to get hired.

i dont think people forget...if anything it reminds people of what a shit organization Dan Snyder has turned this franchise into. Money wont even bring people here anymore. Its called being a toxic organization

[JoeRedskin]

From the WaPo: After his time as DC in Detroit,

The Lions cleaned house following that season, and Barry returned to Tampa Bay for one more season, working under Raheem Morris, who at the time served as head coach and defensive coordinator.

Sorry, the RM connection just worries me.

Say goodbye to defensive free agents like RAK....
Good luck to the skins attracting any defensive free agents!

Making a bad coach has a domino effect with our ability to attract talent.
This GUARANTEES we must build with the draft.
Who wants to go to a 4-12 team with a unproven coach..a meddling owner, a good old boy president and the historically worst defensive coordinator of all time?

WOW....wonder if someone has started drinking again?

Right. But hiring another "savior" wasn't going to be any better. The talent here is bad. Building through the draft is a good way to build--but it takes time. We are not going to be good for a while. Get used to it. It's false expectations of a quick fix that have led to lots of the trouble here. Barry is someone willing to come. That's about what it should be, in my opinion. Glad Danny's magic check book didn't work. Tired of that.

Seriously?
Are you saying you are glad we didn't get a DC with a proven track record to help us rebuild our talent?
Fangio is no savior...he was ok outside of the 49ers.
No one expected a quick fix.
But when you fire a guy that has 10x more experience and puts together 20th ranked defenses...you don't replace him with a guy who is leading the defense of the laughing stock of 100 years of NFL history....just because he knows the guys and has "energy".

It's not like there aren't guys with better track records out there.
I frankly would have preferred they kept Has-been.
At least then the defensive players aren't dreading that is could get even worst. Hope is a great motivator...anybody but Barry would have created that.
