[/quote] [quote=wikipedia] Del Rio began his coaching career with the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Saints"]New Orleans Saints[/url] in 1997 as the Strength and Conditioning coach. In 1999, he accepted a position with the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Ravens"]Baltimore Ravens[/url] as their linebackers coach. He is in part credited for the success of the Ravens' defense, particularly the 2000 Ravens' defense. After the 2001 season, he was named [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_coordinator"]defensive coordinator[/url] of the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Panthers"]Carolina Panthers[/url]. In his first season as defensive coordinator, he led them to the second best defense in the league that season.

Le Tigre Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I have a feeling that Wade Phillips will be the frontrunner for Tampa. A helluva defensive coordinator, but also not a bad, long-time, HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hadn't thought of it 'til now, but all 3 FL teams are looking for a HC. Don't think that's ever happened before in the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 If anything, he is listed as even more "seriously considered" in Miami: [url="http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/01/10/2581724/coach-search-remains-ongoing-as.html"]http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/01/10/2581724/coach-search-remains-ongoing-as.html[/url] Everything depends on what Fisher does, as he is their #1 choice.

texbengal Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I thought Fisher was going to StL? IMO, they're not that far away, since they have a QB, a runner, some WRs coming back from injury plus Lloyd, a high draft pick, and some good young defenders.

[/quote] I think this year was a washout for Bradford, but I think he'll be back with a good year next year. He's very talented, but it's tough playing with a high ankle sprain and behind a makeshift OL where he was running for his life, and a decimated receiving corps (when he did play).

ESPN was reporting they would not be outbid for him, but it appears Fisher is going for the better situation as opposed to more money. Hope somebody has called up JDR already.

I think Bowles deserves a shot... I thought Miami played a whole lot better in the 2nd half do the year, and the team played hard until the end.

MichaelWeston Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I am more ok with him leaving then Gruden. I think we will get a comparable guy in Morris or Del Rio. I just hope he leaves soon. Zimmer's defenses were pretty vanilla and constantly gave up big plays. He was obviously pretty good but its not like he was reshapping the league with some sort of extraordinary new scheme. He was a mega upgrade from what we had before so obviously thats scary when you lose a guy like that but our Ds always gave up big plays to TEs and RBs, seemed to be reactive instead of proactive.

Squirrlnutz Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I like Zimmer a lot and I worry about taking a step back, but there is a lot of talent on this D and a new coach would have plenty of tools to work with. Maybe someone else could get more out of our LBs or safeties. Good for Zim if he gets it, I'll be rooting for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FulcherVulcher33 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I honestly wouldn't mind del Rio as a d-cord at all,he was good everywhere he was,and even when there offenses sucked j-ville had good defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
