If anything, once given a free-er hand with running the Defense AND finding themselves with just a bit better talent (by not much).. Donatell is who is making Mora look good!
potayto...potawto.
Donatell did amazing things with the D last year... and he got the shaft.
Without Donatell, we'd never had made the playoffs at all..
Donatell shouldn't have been fired...he was a patsy. no argument here. but don't mistake last years defense as a stellar one, it wasn't. the cardinals got us into the playoffs.
It's way more than obvious that Slowik can't handle the job.. not with the icro-management going on at the Packers these days... seems like everyone in Coaching is trying to save face all the time... barely gettin' by.. with all this prevent mentality on the field. THAT's not happening in Atlanta right now....
agreed. slowik stinks, can't argue that.
BTW - Have you gone back and looked at the Niner's record with Mora as the DC? Pretty damn nasty when you get right down to it. Remember the phrase - Offense sells tickets, but Defense gets you to the SuperBowl.
that seems like a pretty narrow argument to me. the fact is when reeves was fired they looked at 3 or 4 of the best DC in the league. they chose mora, i don't know why you want to diminish his ability as a great defensive minded coach, he knows what he's doing and he does more with less...period.
im through with this, maybe donatell was just waiting for the right team to nuture a championship defense...either way, i'd rather just agree to disagree.
So, tell us again what raging success we were seeing in SanFran?
us? are we being watched?
hahaha...
