Saleh as our new DC?

Thoughts?

Seahawks have perfect opportunity to make a critical coaching change

The Seattle Seahawks need to shake things up on the coaching staff and the perfect opportunity just presented itself.

Interesting. Hell, I would do it. Saleh and Macdonald would be a force to be reckoned with.

 

[Rat]

Absolutely not. We hired Durde knowing he would need some seasoning. It sets a horrible precedent to fire him after two poor games where he was missing many of his best pieces. It would be an excellent way to make sure nobody on the coaching staff is comfortable at their job having to constantly look over their shoulder, and motivating them to move on in the offseason.

Saleh will collect a big fat paycheck and take the rest of this season off. He'll be someone's DC next year.

 

[94Smith]

Hands off!

In all seriousness, he has said he is just going to take it easy this season and pursue options this offseason. Not sure he would really be a fit in Seattle with macdonald? He is more out of the Carroll defensive tree

 

[Hawkinaz]

That would be highly disrespectful to Durde

 

[IndyHawk]

Mac calls his D,I don't think Durde is anything but an understudy
and is only DC in title.

 

[James in PA]

That would be highly disrespectful to Durde

Yep. Everyone would say we "did him Durde."

 

[Spin Doctor]

MacDonald is calling the defense, Saleh doesn't use the same scheme nor would he be calling the defense.

Yeah, it would make no sense to bring in a guy who was just a head coach to not even call the plays as a DC.

It would be worth bringing him in as a consultant for the remainder of the season, not DC. He could add some fresh perspective without any authority. He could also add a lot of NFCW insight that the current staff lacks. He'll want a DC or possibly HC job next year. Heck, pay him for today and tomorrow to prep for Thursday....

Durde is still in seasoning process,

as MM is the defensive coordinator making the calls.

If some or most of the bad D performance on MM?

 

[kidhawk]

We replaced Pete with Macdonald can we at least now admit that players need to take some responsibility for poor play instead of looking for new coaches?

 

[tonyseahawk]

Hell yes

 

[MORGULON]

I wouldn't consider it for a second. No.

Almost every time a big named coach or player comes available, the question always arises as to whether or not the Seahawks should pick them up. It’s almost like AI is running this site and posts the question in a new thread the second that person becomes available.

 

[Dolomight12]

Interesting. Hell, I would do it. Saleh and Macdonald would be a force to be reckoned with.

That's one way to look at it. Another, more likely way to look at is that this defense is Coach MM's baby, and he and Chrome Dome Saleh would probably just butt heads.

 

[Palmegranite]

Yep. Everyone would say we "did him Durde."

We shouldn't even be airing this Durde laundry in public.

 

[jammerhawk]

i think not, doubt he and Mac could coexist.

Besies it sure can’t be said he was all that brilliant as the HC of the Jets. The later may just be a location where there is a sinkhole of suckitude.

No thanks!

On another front is Devin White worth bringing in for a look?
