We could start calling them Fudge Royal.

Quote:Seems to me that Gus's guys have sucked (Babich and Fisch) while Caldwells guys (Olsen, Marrone Hackett) seem to be doing quite well.


Bradley was given his choice of coordinators when he first got here but once they sucked, Caldwell gets to jump in.

 

Olsen, Marrone, and Hacket are all Gus guys. 

 

Gus knew Olsen from TB, Marrone interviewed with him (read past articles detailing how the process went with Marrone just having conversation with Gus, then got enticed to join staff), and then Marrone brought Hackett with him.

"Awful is an understatement describing Babich


Babich is dreadful. He took over the number one defense in the league from Ron Rivera, a Defense chick full of pro bowlers like Urlacher, Briggs, Charles Tillman and great players like Daniel Manning, Chris Harris and Nathan Vasher among others and completely ruined the unit. He was a horrible playcaller and would never make in game adjustments when his defense would be getting shredded by average QB’s. His defense could not get any pressure on the QB and he’d keep calling for Zone defense with a simple four man rush even thought the bears had some of the best man to man corners and pash rushing linebackers in the league. He would not adjust his defense to fit his personell and Lovie finally mercifully ripped play calling duties away from him and demoted him. He’d be fine as a linebackers coach but we are in deep [BAD WORD REMOVED] if he’s given any authority over the defense or playcalling responsibilities from Bradley. For our sake lets hope he’s just a glorified linebackers coach w a big title and Bradley’s gonna run the d

Thanks for this, rpr.


Now that babich is gone, if we continue with this same type of garbage scheme and game planning, we'll know that babich was just following orders of the head coach.


I hope the next dc is smart enough to figure out how to adjust a defence when the original plan stops working.

<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Only Jaguars assistant fired was defensive coordinator Bob Babich. Coach Gus Bradley talking about his decision at 1 pm

Let me guess.. Babich is lactose intolerant..

You would think more coaches on that side of the ball would of been canned.

I assume it's going to be exactly like last season. Bring in the coordinator and let them make the decision on the position coaches.

Time to switch to new comedy writers. Old act gone stale.

Ahhhh don't tell them that their lactose jokes are stale, they might start with yogurt jokes.

Quote:Possible DCs?

 

        a.)  Carolina Steve Wilks, Ast HC/ Defensive Backs


        b.)  Chiefs Emmitt Thomas, Defensive Backs coach


        c.)  Notre Dame Brian Kelly, HC College former Linebacker


        d.)  49ers Tim Lewis, Defensive Back Coach - Was DB coach in Seattle 2009 coached under Eric Mangini whom coached under Bill Parcells.


        e.)  UVA Al Groh, former Patriots DC team won AFC Championship in 1996.

 

Wilks isn't going anywhere. He's probably moved to DC in Carolina after McDermott is hired as a head coach. Even if he's not, he's an assistant head coach, and the Panthers would probably block his move.

 

Thomas maybe. He's been in the league forever, he's a Hall of Famer, he was the interim HC of the Falcons, but would he want to start over on a "built" team when the Chiefs are knocking on the door?

 

Brian Kelly...lol

 

Tim Lewis has been an ok coordinator throughout his career. We could do worse.

 

Al Groh is a straight up 3-4 guy who wouldn't mesh well with Gus' scheme.

I'd almost rather we bring in someone who isn't indoctrinated in whatever the Tampa Two has evolved into under Carroll and Bradley. I think the defense, as it exists, is too predictable and too well-known in the NFL, and we need a guy who'll introduce some new wrinkles to it.

 

That said, I kind of expect Bradley to promote from within so he keeps his scheme more or less untouched.

Quote:Time to switch to new comedy writers. Old act gone stale.

Babich requested sherbet at end of tinhorn game. Can confirm, Bradley saw that as the last straw.


Bradley refuses to serve any thing fruity, concerned it might make the players soft.

Maybe they're waiting to see what the new DC thinks?
