Canes are hiring Derek Nicholson as LB Coach

[Cribby]

Don’t forget Nicholson coached with Dawson at Southern Miss. OC’s sometimes are the best evaluators of defensive coaches.

Yep, Randy Shannon got *** raped by Patrick Nix so he hired him. Then got a two for the price of one deal.

Ain’t that the truth. Although Onion did have some really good coaches even in year of his tenure. Stoutland, hurtt, crime dog, Tommie Robinson. Just whiffed on coordinators.

I am hoping Mauigoa becomes our version of Lofa Tatupu who played ILB at USC and Seattle. Mauigoa has that kinda tackling power. I am excited for our defense.

That's what I feel he'll be the leader of the defense and a tackle machine

So is there a particullar reason this is framed as him being hired as iLB coach? Makes one think there will be an OLB coach... or like a hybrid OLB/Safety/Pass Rush coach or some ****...

probably means Rod moves to OLB since he is DE right now and we have a DT coach

Jason Taylor?

But the OLB is essentially the Striker in Manny’s scheme, no?

OLB coach is really only used in a 3-4 scheme.

We're all hoping Rod moves to DT & Taylor moves to DE. Joe x2 gots to go.

 

[who]

Flagg now has a new coach to fool

 

[Calinative]

personally I'm rooting for us to somehow get partridge, and dgaf about the rest... But if that can't happen, this would be cool. Really depends what Jason Taylor wants to do. If he's not pushing to get an on the field role, I'm fine with him remaining where he is...

We're all hoping Rod moves to DT & Taylor moves to DE. Joe x2 gots to go.

Aren't 3 or 4 LBs used less frequently in Guidry's system? Could just be a reflection of that.
