Carlos Danger Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I can't really complain about this hire. They're were some other names out there that I liked better, Pettine for one, but I think Monachino is a good choice. I think this was strictly a Chuck hiring and it gives me some hope that we are finally ready to let the man coach... For better or worse. I predict it'll be more of the former.

SDakColts Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Everything I have read about Monachino is that he was a very popular choice for new DC hires. I am ok with this signing. I was hoping for Pettine, but sounds like Monachino is no slouch. I wish him luck, and hopefully we can get him some more defensive talent to work with.

Ja'Crispy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Seems logical to me. Hire a guy that speaks Chuck's language and can install the defense that Chuck wants. I don't mind hiring the up and comers. Let's see what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungarianColtsFan Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I think Pagano will have more control over the D. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defjamz26 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 While some of the moves were much needed, it looks like this really is Pagano bringing in his own people.

NagelHausForge Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Don't know a thing about him but what I like is that is seems clear that Pagano now has the authority to hire his own staff. Hopefully this ends the drama we've experienced this season and the team can move forward... Looking forward to see the other moves that come.

chad72 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Maybe he can help us complete the front 7. We have the DL now, just need LB play to complete it :). No more excuses though, no more blowouts outside the division, please :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Irrelevant Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I know he is unproven as DC, but just the taste of the words Raven LB's puts a smile on my face. The Force could be strong with this one, folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockThatBlue Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 I think its a good hire. See no reason to hate it anyway. Apparently the colts weren't the only team wanting him as DC, can't be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtRider Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm extremely okay with hiring Monachino. Pagano input trending in the direction as it should've been ... the right one! Pettine was my choice as well. But I'm not the least bit upset with Teddy. Now, get this defense on the tracks of a barreling locomotive that doesn't contain a rolling ball of butcher knives. It stands on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole did Pagano have authority to hire his own staff thing is over blown. Arians made it known it was Chuck who got him here when the bulk of the rest of the staff was hired. It's more logical to assume that if Chuck got to hire the OC that year he got to hire the other coaches he wanted that year. maybe something strange happened with Pep but I don't think that's true over the bulk of the coaching staff.

What linebackers did he actually help develop Suggs and Mosley, he played a part in their development for sure. Dannell Ellerbe had a great year in Baltimore as well under his coaching. He coached up Suggs in college as linebackers coach at Arizona State, and eventually reconnected with Suggs in Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True...however..Keith Butler was Pagano's original choice of DC, but he declined at the last minute. They then settled on Manusky. So, it's possible that Pagano wanted to replace Manusky later on but was denied by Grigson. It's also possible that Pagano just received authority to make changes to the offensive coaching staff, and he decided to go ahead and make changes on the defensive side as well, hoping to get guys that he really wanted rather than guys he had to settle for.

Maybe Grigson blocked a Manusky move previously -- no evidence to suggest that -- but Manusky was Pagano's guy, not Grigson's. The links are between Pagano and Manusky, and when hired in 2012, Pagano chose his coordinators himself, going after people he had worked with or coached against or had a link to. So I don't think Manusky was Grigson's guy, whether the Grigson/Pagano stuff was true or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manusky has strong ties to the Pagano family, and is treated like a brother, highly unlikely that he wasn't a Pagano hire. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7428673/san-diego-chargers-fire-defensive-coordinator-greg-manusky-promote-john-pagano-replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
