Pete is aiming for a fresh start?

 

[RockinHawks]

Yeah, I guess so...it looks that way. I've only ever heard great things about Barrow, even that he may replace Richard as DC.

 

[Milehighhawk]

I would surmise this was a condition of Ken Norton Jr. taking the job.

^^^ Unless of course a second head foretells of more than that.

I didn't see or hear anything of Michael Barrow's (linebackers coach/assistant head coach/defense) pending departure. Combined with the release of Richard, this would seem to be a rather complete rejection of the 2017 season.

Loaf of....?

Dude came to camp and trained some last year didn't he?

.................. no. He left at the end of the 2016 season. Was not active with the coaching staff in 2017.

Norton could serve as LB coach too.

When does Brian Schneider and the Carroll brothers get 86ed?

 

[Sox-n-Hawks]

Let Norton play a role in hiring his assistants. LOVE this move.

Both Richard and Barrow are going to hot commodities and both potential DCs as the remaining coach-less teams rotate and fill out their staffs. Watch the Patriots - who will lose both OC/DC soon.

The Carroll brothers leave when their dad does, and might land with another team as a coach or in front office job. Schneider leaves when one of the brothers takes his place.

No, that would not work. The DC has to oversee the whole defense. My guess is Pete wants to let Norton have a say in choosing his staff, and who he thinks he can work well with him.
