VanCity Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 He is a logical option from a purely "his team is playing in the Super Bowl and we've hired all the rest of our DC's staff" perspective. The other perspective is "why would a Saints D coach come here with Greggo telling him about his time in Buffalo?" Good observation though. Zimmers pops has been a solid coordinator and if he follows his lead, he would be welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got_Wood Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Our DC could also be one of the senior bowl coaches. Buddy and Tom are down there right now. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 I would hope that he would want the promotion and the chance to make more of a name for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthICE Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Logic dictates he has already been approached and essentially taken the position. I mean surely these moves for DB coaches, LB coaches etal have also been ran by the new DC and he has approved? I mean one would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewildrabbit Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 If nothing else it makes you wonder why Gailey / Nix are waiting until the SB is over to fill their staff. Considering the senior bowl is this week and coaches like to get to know the players, I would think there is a reason as to why they are waiting to announce the DC. Me personally, I'd be interested in the Colts DC and how he made the transition from the Tampa 2 so smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To Pegulavilla Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Name a DC who has ties with Buddy Nix and runs a 3-4 D? Answer: Ted Cottrell.. I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned for the DC job. Cottrell did serve as SD Chargers DC in 2007 and 2008. In 2007 Cottrell's defense led the NFL in takeaways (48), interceptions (30), and passer rating defense (70.0). Cottell isn't only a good choice but he'd love to be here as well.

VanCity Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 He doesn't like working for him? What I meant was that Greggo wasn't exactly glowing in his reviews of Buffalo when asked. Wouldn't he tell his coaches that when asked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, sadly, don't know if he is the one they have chosen, and the one has been chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFL season is done. I, sadly, don't know if he is the one they have chosen, and the one has been chosen. I'm all for bringing Cottrell back as well. Cottrell fits Nix's criteria perfectly. Nix, if you're reading this, hire TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I doubt it's him but they need to get some more young blood into the coaching staff. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Fewell who just signed as DC is not at the senior bowl. Says he has other stuff to do and trusts the coaches and scouts going to fill him in. So it is not important that our DC is there. Also take the Super Bowl teams for example they probably have nothing but scouts there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read my thread title it says "I think" not "Our next DC IS GOING TO BE.." this is my opinion only. Also if you read my other post in this topic you would have seen that I also put "This is just my gut feeling" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
