GoColts8818 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Wouldn't be too shocking if Chuck went with someone he knows and from the Ravens D since that's the model he's using to build this D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Daytona Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 hmm.... interesting choice. I'd prefer a proven DC, but apparently Indy is addicted to trying to find "diamonds in the rough, and up-and-comers" We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Daytona Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well, looks like Monachino is a Hot name for DC positions, and hey, he developed T-Sizzle in College and the pros, and has coached some decent NFL D-lines in Jacksonville, as well as amazing LB'ers in the Charm City.... maybe a good get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Pettine only has notoriety because he was under Rex. Rex knows his Xs and Os when it comes to defense, so people may want to associate Rex' success with Pettine, but I don't think Pettine is as good as people want to give him credit for.

GoColts00 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Jim Leavitt. He studied under Bill Snyder @ Kansas State. He built South Florida from nothing. He was the LB coach for the 49ers under Vic Fangio, so he coached NaVorro Bowman, Patrick Willis and Ahmad Brooks. He's the current D.C. at Colorado. He ran a 4-3 D at South Florida, a 3-4 D with the 49ers and a 4-3 @ Colorado so he fits his scheme to the personnel available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Irrelevant Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well, it would make some sense. Ted Monachino is an expert in LB, Pagano in DB and the D-line looked pretty set this year, so from a bird eyes view it could work out regarding the positions we need to evolve the most. I just hope Ted Monachino is a bit more creative than Pagano with schemes and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Lee Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Please.... We took two years to adjust personnel to the 3-4. The 3-4 works. It is proven by other teams. Let's not take another 2 or 3 years to go back to the 4-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High quality defensive coordinator that was plucked to be a head coach too soon because they were coaching a solid program/defensive group. We can't afford to take the gamble on a guy who doesn't know the ins and outs of scheming and game planning a full defense already. We need proven, but not retreaded over and over again vs the potential next hot star. Im certain the Colts had someone in mind when they cut loose of Manusky though. Would be a large gamble to fire your guy and then hope the one you want is still avail and if not, have to settle for something that could be worse than what you had and knew. Just my opinion.

My opinion on what is wrong with our defense is that the only like star caliber layer on that defense right now is Davis used to be Mathis but he is just about done.

krunk Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 How about we hire Monochino as the linebackers coach and hire Pettine as the DC! Honestly they will probably hire Mono as DC though because they seem to try their hardest to maintain continuity. Hiring a big name kind of works to disrupt that because the big name will be gone in a year or two. Monochino has experience with the linebackers and the D line. They've probably come together and decided who the secondary coaches will be as well. I hope he is bright and fiery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he will leave as soon as he gets the opportunity to be a HC...hampering continuity with the Colts. That could be part of the thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krunk Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 It is widely believed that Monachino, who has never been a defensive coordinator at either the college or pro level, would eventually be the successor to current Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees. However, an opportunity could potentially come sooner with the Colts. If Monachino did leave, it would be a blow to the Ravens, and to outside linebacker Terrell Suggs. Monachino coached Suggs at Arizona State and the two are extremely close http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-monachino-could-be-candidate-in-indy-20160105-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
