Offensive Coordinator/Defensive Coordinator

There's no reason we couldn't do a Phillips-style 3-4. We have done 5-man lines this year, we would just stand the ends up.

Thorton as the 1-tech, Cox in the 3, Landri over a guard at the 4, then Cole/Graham/Hunt/Curry rotating in and out at "end." Then Kendricks and Ryans would obviously be the ILBs.

If Patterson and/or Jenkins would be willing to take a paycut, they could be some of the backup.

However, I think this will take a lot of work to do, it won't make us an elite defense just by switching, and then we still have the secondary, offensive line, punter and of course the quarterback to worry about.

As bad as our defense is now, we still have a couple players for it with potential for the future that fit this scheme. We do not have a single player on our roster who I look at and think, "Gee, we're underutilizing him in a 4-3 we need to switch."

IF we bring in a 34 Defense we better have a playcaller with some experience...I like Rivera but I think he's more a 43 coach hence why he runs it at Car. He was a LB coach taking over as DC in SD and they had been drafting guys for the 34 for yrs.

Ryan (needs to have a strong HC otherwise I could see a Washburn-like scenario)
Crennel (although I think he gets another yr)

If we are looking at potentially fired HCs as our next DC, I would want Rivera way more than Rex. I think we stick with the 4-3 for sure.

If we ran 52 fronts on obvious passing downs. That's be great. <333

Our team hasn't been able to put the pieces together for a decent 4-3, I don't want them spending a decade filling out a 3-4.

BTW the Denver Broncos have the same sort of undersized 43 personnel as the Eagles. They just run hybrid stuff within it and also have better coaching. Better coached players perform better. They obviously have better talent with Von Miller, but outside of him I can't say that a legitimate coach couldn't get more out of the guys that have been on the Eagles defense the last 4 seasons.

I can agree with that. The defensive staff since 2011 has made our all-pros look like average players and our average players look like steaming garbage.

Literally only our defensive ends benefited from the Washburn-9 with some pretty stats, while the rest of our defense suffered.

I think Lurie will bring in someone to replace Reid as the VP of football operations and then hire a coach separately.
