I’ll be honest with you , I’ve called a lot of shots the last two years, some a month or two out. But the whole “ worst case scenario manny will demote baker from play calling and manny takes over” gets lost. Nobody even had that as a possibility or on the table. No media or pay sites, nada. It’s actually kind of unheard of to be done in the off-season by a head coach.
If manny was taking a dc it was going to be a splash hire , if not he was going to run things. That’s why I say he’s not stuck on running his d or has an ego with this. He was willing to bring in real names in the dc game. He’s still trying. But worst case he runs things but regardless the d staff looks great , especially if the lb hire happens. It’ll be a recruiting all star team, the d staff will no longer be holding things back. It’s a major upgrade as a whole.
