But again nothing in there says it can be blocked or permission given. Just a 15 day exclusive negotiation windo for expiring contracts.

 

I guess they could be a dick and say nope not good enough to run our defense Wilkes is but stick around here because we are blocking an advancement oppertunity

 

But i am wrong i admit it. Kind of a ****ty rule and should be changed maybe you would see some more diversity in the coaching ranks

Frazier would be a great get. This is McDermotts defense. To have someone as knowledgeable to know how to instill game plans and tweak different nuances from past experience and not confuse the players would be awesome.

This is what I think. McDermott is going to install his defense and I imagine will call defensive signals. The OC is 10x the more important hire. The DC here needs to be one of two things, a very solid, experienced guy who used to be a HC and can help McD out - a guy just like Frazier - or an up and coming whiz kid who is on his way to being a great DC in a few years. Both the other guys rumored, John Butler and Al Holcomb, fit that bill.

The league calls it a lateral move, but the coaches know its not. It's definitely frowned upon to not let someone go though for something that's a promotion like position coach to coordinator.

 

Especially in this case where Steve Wilks is going to replace McDermott as DC

Yep. Bills tried to pull this will assistants when Pettine left. It didn't work out. If an assistant wants to leave, they obviously should be made to continue in their current position.

Isn't that what McDermott does? Rush 4, play a lot of zone and throw in the occasional blitz?

Some truth to this. They mix up their coverages more than what you might term a traditional Jim Johnson defense but what McDermott does do is attack the A gap early and often. Watching the Panthers you often see the first blitz they call in a game is a double A gap blitz.

I'm all for a double smacking of Brady up the A gap, early and often!
