David Merritt will be our DB's coach. Great, since he's worked with spags and been great with DB's. Unclear what will happen with Harris. Since he's an assistant, I'd imagine the Chiefs are fine keeping him. [Reply]
Seems like everything I've read about the hire, it seems like a good one. Really don't care who the coaches are, as long as the can freaking coach, make adjustments and have a proper defensive game plan and utilize the players to their ability and scheme them in the right system.
So basically the opposite of Suttons defense... [Reply]
With the way House utilizes his linebackers to slow down the spread, I expect DOD to flourish under his coaching and develop into one of the better coverage linebackers around.
Hopefully, he can get Hitchens to realize the potential he was starting to show in Dallas, too.
I hope this dude is worth all the trouble (and the expense).
After all this, he'd better have a method of infusing linebacker skeletons with adamantium and they'd better be breathing fire, playing downhill, and sending RB bitches to the bench on a regular basis.

Perhaps they are this aggressive going for this particular coach because they think it means they won't have to go out into FA overpaying for a starter. They might think a lot of the players just need to be developed and coached up. I can't say one way or the other, but I bet the new coaching staff gets more out of the roster than Sutton did. [Reply]
