New Defensive Coordinator 2015

[Schneed10]

What's Haslett's contract status? I thought this was the last year of his deal.

[DYoungJelly]

He has one year left on his contract. Supposed to go through 2015.

This is why we need a GM. btw. 3/4 or 4/3 is pretty interchangeable these days. Teams put individuals in for down and distance and match ups that most teams are really hybrids

Thank you, the hangup people have with the 3-4 drives me bonkers. We're not even in a 3-4 the majority of the time. Half the teams in the league are technically a 3-4, yet how many "dominant" nose tackles are there really? It's a myth that without one you can't have a good D.

Not saying you cant have a good D without one but our D has sucked since HAZ has been here but I prefer 4 down linemen whether or not you have a a LB put his hand in the dirt.....

We would have sucked under Haz regardless of the front.

Heard on the radio Gruden retained 5 coaches from last year.

Anybody know who they are? (specifically on defense. Haz, Raheem. . .)

This surprised me. I don't know why, but I thought there was a lot more retention.

Haz, Raheem, McVay, Foerster and Burney

Seattle/NE are perfect examples. You watch those teams and it is obvious they don't follow a strict 4-3 or 3-4.

[SFREDSKIN]

Hazmat, Foerster, Kowitka and maybe Morris need to go. Especially the 1st 3 mentioned.

I think he's talking about retained them from Shanny's regime, not retaining them going into next season. If he retains either Haz or Raheem, then he's trying his damnedest to get fired and walk away with 16mil.

[VTSkins1961]

Totally agree

Yup, sorry, my bad, wrong reading, long day.
