DC Options?

[Fin-Loco]

It's early but we are definitely dialing in on the fact that Boyer isn't the guy. Hope he flips that script. If he doesn't, who are the best options to replace him with that have ties to McD? The guy from The Mummy movies that runs the Jets is good but I don't think he's going to get fired. He's done as well as he can given the whacky QB carousel up there.

I don't know who is on the GB, LAR, or SF staffs that could replace Boyer.

I would bring in (Former TCU coach) Gary Patterson as a consultant. I've long been enamored w/ his 4-2-5

not sure if it would be a good fit with personality but Rex Ryan would be a huge upgrade at DC.
i never liked his antics but he always had a good defense.
it would be interesting to see the relationship between him and MM

Vic Fangio would be my first choice. He is available and might want to get back into coaching.

Supposedly we were going after him for it last year.

I think he wanted to take this season off but I bet he comes back next season. Hopefully it will be with the Dolphins.

I'd say Vic Fangio or possibly Sam Madison gets promoted.
Fangio is a defensive consultant for the Eagles, who are doing well on defense, at the moment.

That would be a monster get. He's one of the best DCs in the NFL hands down.

The other benefit is at his age, he's scratched the HC itch so could be a good DC for years we don't have to worry about being pilfered.

It will be interesting to see if McDaniel has the ambition to fire staff members like Boyer, after a subpar but not necessarily disastrous season for the defense

Sam Madison would be a pretty big jump from Secondary coach to DC but, if McD believes in him, who knows? Obviously, we all love the guy and the secondary play has been good considering....I liked Madison so much we named our dog after the guy.

I would rather get a DC that has more experience and maybe groom Madison to be the DC down the road.

I hope he does! He better have the balls to do what needs to be done to improve the team.

Fangio would be my first choice, but I'd be happy with Patterson.

I also wouldn't mind seeing the same scheme Pete Carroll used w/ the Legion of Boom
