Defensive coordinator

Anybody think Mike Singletary might be on the chopping block out there in SF? If so do you think he might be receptive to come back to his hometown as our new defensive coordinator?

I called for us to go after him a few years ago then he got the top job in San Fran.

I think Singletary, John Fox and Marvin Lewis are the top guys on the list for next seasons defensive coordinator. Any one of which would be a nice addition as a DC.

BTW those are all 4-3 guys, well Singletary has run both a 4-3 and a 3-4 in his coaching career.

Of the 3-4 guys only Wade Phillips is really interesting to me.

With the looming lockout, this is all conjecture. Plus, it remains to be seen whether a 5-11 or 6-10 season costs Kubiak his job and then those names become head coaching candidates, not DC candidates. I think the next head coach must DEFINITELY be a defensive coach to fix our troubled defense.

Singletary is a Defensive coach whose team is in the bottom half of the league defensively (22nd in yards, 18th in scoring). And that is while playing the terrible offenses in the NFC west twice each (STL #25, SEA #27, ARI #31).

If that is the performance he got when he set the personality of the whole team and had some personnell say, then I'm not very excited about him as a DC.

Likewise, Marvin Lewis has had a half a decade to put his hands on that team and they are giving up 26.5 ppg, just ahead of the Houston Texans. Carolina is at 26 ppg allowed.

Some guys are just cut out to be defensive coordinators instead of head coaches with defensive coordinator resumes. #DomCapers

Dom and Wade Phillips track records are they suck as head coaches and thier defenses sucked when they where head coaches, but look a their defenses when they where the guys running just the defense.

Heck look at what Gregg Williams did as a HC and then as a DC.
