DeFilipo would likely hire someone he's worked with to run his system. I also don't think our current defensive personnel aligns with the Seattle defense. Do any of these other guys have a DeFilippo connection? Or even a LaFleur connection? I keep seeing them brought up as potential OCs, but don't see a connection other than the Schwartz/DeFillipo combo. Interesting thought on the personnel. I'm not sure how much weight that should ultimately carry if you believe in the coordinator. I'm willing to bet flexibility and maximizing players will be key for any coordinator JRob brings in, regardless of the system with which they're most familiar. If we go with a young guy at HC, we definitely need multiple veterans on staff. McVey did it right by hiring Wade Phillips as his DC and Jim Fassel as his special teams coordinator.

It seems Richard got screwed in Seattle. He'd been with the team since 2010 and coached DBs under Dan Quinn for the bulk of his time there. And we all know how good their secondary was. Many in the media seemed to be surprised by his firing. Seems he and Carroll may have had a falling out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's not just about being familiar with the system, it's about ability. The Seattle defense generally requires longer physical press man corners for instance, and it requires very athletic and fast players. This kind of change would require a complete re-tooling of the roster imo. More likely, they'll hire someone who will run a defense that more aptly utilizes the current personnel. But who knows. Were you talking about defensive coordinator options re: the DeFilippo/LaFleur connection question? One guy who I would bet DeFilippo would target is Mike Groh Philly's WR coach, who is very highly regarded around the league when it comes to offense. And you mentioned LaFleur's brother previously. Personally, I think it's a very legitimate possibility that if you were to hire Flip or LaFleur or Reich as HC that they'd keep LeBeau and company in place on defense. That's less likely if you hire Vrabel or Wilks or Schwartz or whatever. Edited January 19, 2018 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) They run a base 4-3 Under in Seattle. That fits quite well with our current personnel. There’s little to no difference between a 1 gap 3-4, which we ran quite a bit, and the 4-3 under. Casey stays 3 tech, Johnson goes to 1 tech, Morgan strong side DE and Orakpo the weak side DE. Brown is the WLB with Williamson or Woodyard as MLB. We would have to pick up a SLB, as none of the backers fit that role. I think Jones would be gone in this scheme, as he doesn’t fit the 3 or 1. We keep Sly as backup 1 tech and Klug comes back as backup 3. Edited January 19, 2018 by IsntLifeFunny oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 interesting that on NFL Live Schefter mentioned DeFilippo with another interview with the Cardinals but no mention of us entering the picture. also mentioned Schwartz is someone that we could be keen to talk to once the Eagles season is done.

No1TitansFan Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Harbaugh has a better staff at UM than he could probably assemble at this level, actually likes recruiting, and would be considered somewhat of a traitor at his beloved alma mater if he were to leave at this point; he has his dream job, no way he's leaving all that to come here.

Titans279 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Based on the timing of the tweets announcing the interviews that have happened if there was another interview today we should hear about it in about an hour. Vrabel: 1:56 pm CT Wilks: 5:44 pm CT LaFleur: 2:15 pm CT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 well here is confirmation that the Cardinals will be continuing their HC search next week, with interviews with Flores and DeFilippo. would be really disappointing if the Eagles continue to the SB and we never get the chance to interview DeFilippo.

AvgJoe Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 As they should be. But DeFilippo is of the most interest I’m sure. SuperFreak90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
