Broncos D-Coord Fired. WTH? 

Post#1 » by Flash3 » Mon Jan 18, 2010 11:58 pm

ESPN is reporting that Mike Nolan of Denver, their D-Coord, has been let go.

WTH? They had one of the best defenses last year.

Where could be be headed next?

I'm hoping its the Bears. I have a feeling this might be a "Well...he doesn't run the Cover 2 etc" but seriously. We need new blood.

Hopefully they agree to terms with him, because god knows we need a good 3-4 D-Coord.

Well, I guess someone had to take the downfall for that pathetic 2nd half after starting 6-0. Though it says it says "mutual termination"

I don't think the guys got along that well. Dean Pees seems like the choice, that's if he's healthy.

I was pretty surprised at the move, but this would be a great fit for the Dolphins.

This was two-sided, Nolan wanted out just as much as they wanted to get rid of him. He's sort of the scapegoat but he and McDaniels really didn't work well together.

I expect he'll take the Miami job but it's not a given.
