I was thinking that too, but I think Pettine is a better choice. I'm all for the hard nosed DC, which pettine would bring... besides if Mack or Thomas liked the guy they might be willing to follow. Stranger things have happened i.e. tonight's breaking news

He will probably hire his brother if Manusky is fired. Think he got let go in SD! Just a thought.

Nepotism is literally the last thing Pagano should be doing. Not to mention that their defense has been pretty garb for a while now.

Cleaveland didn't have a very good D this year. Is Pettine any good? 

 

He wasn't the coordinator.  I don't recall the Dallas D being all that great when Wade Phillips was the head coach.  But whenever he's the coordinator it's usually always a good unit.

 

When Pettine was a D coordinator he had the number 1 ranked D in the league.  I think it's worth a shot certainly over Manusky.

(Sigh....)

 

Here we go....  again.

 

Manusky is fine.    He's had almost no talent to work with.    He's been doing it with smoke and mirrors,  glue and duct tape.

 

Where is the talent?       Where are the difference makers?

 

We're not giving up points because of Manusky.     We're giving up points because we can't get to the quarterback and we can't cover receivers and we can't tackler runners.      And that's because we don't have a very talented defense.

 

Manusky is NOT the problem.    Never has been.

Pettine and Pagano were both on the Ravens together in 2008 I believe. Maybe even previous to that but I could be wrong.  Heck of a coaching staff they had.

 

New York Jets

Pettine, as Rex Ryan's "right-hand man", reportedly received a three-year deal to lead the Jets defense. Pettine has been credited with contributing strongly to the Jets number one defense in the NFL in 2009. His tenure with the Jets ended after the 2012 season, with the expiration of his contract.[5

Pettine was also the Bills defensive coordinator in 2013. That team had 43 Sacks

 

Veteran Ravens defenders raved about the kind of coach Pettine was in Baltimore. 

“Phenomenal coach,” outside linebacker Terrell Suggsicon-article-link.gif said. “He’s your type of coach. He likes you being yourself, from what I remember. I don’t think anything has changed, especially with how inspired they are playing right now.”

 

They had Pagano, Mike Nolan, John Harbaugh, Mike Pettine, Mike Singletary, Rex Ryan, Mike Smith.

 

See this is what I mean.  I would like to assemble stuff like this around Pagano instead of some of these guys we have now.  Upgrade the coaching staff as much as you can to bring together a strong collective of experienced NFL coaches.  Not everybody can be Bellichick, but a good group can overcome some of the experience Pagano lacks against the best of the best.

    • Chris Ballard, the enigmatic mastermind behind the Indianapolis Colts' draft selections, continues to astound with his unconventional approach to player evaluation. Known for his ability to turn perceived draft flops into valuable lessons in resilience, Ballard has elevated the art of optimism in the face of adversity.   Take, for instance, his selection of Quincy Wilson, a cornerback whose career trajectory seemed to follow the path less traveled—straight to the sidelines. Wilson's ability to excel in the role of 'spectator extraordinaire' brought a new dimension to the Colts' bench, proving that even inactivity can be a form of contribution.   Then there's TJ Green, whose ability to redefine the term 'safety' by providing the opposing offense with a false sense of security is a testament to Ballard's commitment to strategic innovation. Green's unpredictable presence on the field undoubtedly kept quarterbacks on their toes, in excitement.    And who could forget Ben Banogu, a defensive end whose knack for demonstrating the art of camouflage by seamlessly blending into the turf has left spectators marveling at his commitment to environmental integration. Banogu's ability to remain inconspicuous during critical moments showcases Ballard's emphasis on adaptability and the importance of being one with your surroundings.   Ballard's genius lies not just in his ability to select players, but in his skillful navigation of the delicate dance between expectation and reality. His selections may not always align with conventional wisdom, but they consistently challenge perceptions and redefine what it means to be a draft bust.   As Ballard continues to forge ahead, his unorthodox approach serves as a beacon of hope for aspiring NFL general managers everywhere, including those perusing fan forums. Because if there's one thing Chris Ballard has taught us, it's that in the unpredictable world of professional football, even the most unexpected outcomes can be reframed as victories in disguise.   AKB
    • He started 14 games at SS in 2019 and started 8 games in 2018 for the Jags.  I meant to post this earlier in the thread.   https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HarrRo02.htm        
    • The additions of say Taylor, Raimann, and looking back to Leonard could be called important, savy drafting.  Our Colts have been waiting for awhile for a special, difference making player to surprisingly fall to US. Right when we really really needed it to happen, it sure looks like we got two of them. 🙏 for good health.  AR a surprise at 4, not at all.  But      
    • You're not certain...but you know it's a fact.  How does that work? Haha
