Dave Wannstedt in the running for Browns defensive coordinator
-
Puke! Wannstedt is a terrible head coach. Pittsburgh (college) constantly underachieved with him and Chicago and Miami sucked while he coached them... Remember it was in 2002 when miami lost down the stretch to finish 9-7, lose the division tiebraker to the jets, and lose the last wildcard spot to cleveland 9-7. This made me extremely happy at the time, and I have never forgotton how lousy he is. I also live in Illinois so I saw him coach the bears for a while. I would pick Jauron (also a former bears coach) or anyone over Wannstedt in a heartbeat...

In college, I heard he was an excellent recruiter but a sub-par coach
-
Plenty of coaches aren't great head coaches but do find success as Coordinators. I'd say he's as good a option as any for a defensive Coordinator and he's certainly a motivator. The Panthers underachieved this season but they also had a few pretty substantial injuries that I believe led to his early demise. I can't say I was happy when he was fired but someone has to hit the chopping block every once in a while.

i HATE dAVE wANNSTEDT, HE HAS SUCKED everywhere!!!
pLEASE ... tHERE IS NO GOD!
-
i'm on the fence here. i really haven't followed his career as much as some here, but i can say that i liked his 'get-in a-guy's-face' and scream attitude.
there have been alot of guys that haven't made it as head coaches but are solid when it comes to coaching a specific position. look at mike tice now. what about dom capers. singletary will probably get picked as a positional coach again on a defense.
and if we got people on here already worried about someone who might get offered a coordinator job becoming a head coach here............wow, we are getting a little ahead of ourselves.

The guy took a 9-7 Bears team and turned it into a 4-12 Team.
He took an 11-5 Miami team and reduced it o to 4-12.
Please, please, please ... I beg Lerner, Holmgren, and the ghost of Christmas past, please look elsewhere.

He is not going to be a head coach he is going to be a coordinator. As a coordinator he has done very well and I am not against hiring him.

You need to separate Wannstedt the HC from Wannstedt the DC. Because someone sucked as a HC doesn't mean they can't be a good DC or OC.

Also, ATENEARS facts are completely false.

During those years as a HC - the defense of those teams were not as nearly as horrid as the record indicates. As bad as a rap as he had gotten - he had truly turned around that Pitt program - built defense in a strong conference. I would be honored to have him as a DC. The more, and more I listen to Shurmur, the more and more I feel he is going to be the right man to build through OL, QB, etc. - Dave can focus on Defense, and just defense. Winning on THAT side of the ball.

Ok, enlighten me ... what are the facts? Why should we hire this guy?
Because the guy rode on the bus with a Dallas Cowboy team that fielded like 11 Pro Bowlers, 22 years ago? Or a stacked Miami Hurricane team 25 years ago? WTF has he done successfully in the past 20 years?
This is a horrible hire ... just horrible. F'ing A, Mangini's done more in coordinator positions since Wannstedt last tasted any personal accomplishment.
He's a household name ... insert golf clap.
This shit is getting old.

Don't hire/fire someone on information that doesn't pertain to their job. He IS a good coordinator so push him to the side because he was a bad head coach. Same thing with people saying Mangini should have been fired because of his bad 09 draft even though he already had GM duties taken away from him.

He never led Miami to a 4-12 record. He had 4 winning seasons then one horrible one in which he was let go in the middle of the season. He also had 4 seasons at .500 before the Bears went downhill. You made it sound like he took over great teams and ruined them. While Wannstedt is never going to win CotY honors he wasn't as horrible as you made him out to be. Also, he is being interviewed for the DC position so I really don't know why any of that is relevant to begin with.
-
Damn am i really having to choose between Wannstedt and Jauron but you gotta give them a chance as a DC, they were terrible head coaches but that dosent mean they cant be good Defensive Coordinators...I believe Romeo did pretty well in KC this year with his defense and he was trash here, but id like to see some other guys get a look at DC then some older guys i like the young guys who no one really knows about that are good defensive position coaches....

The guy was an offensive lineman when he played the game, right? Probably switched over and coached the DL because of a void in the coaching staff. Rode Jimmy Johnsons jock-strap to a DC position and benefitted from the Hershal Walker trade that loaded the Cowboys 20 years ago. Some moron thought it was to his credit and gave him a head coaching job on Johnsons recommendation. He inherited teams flirting with the playoffs, not down-ridden franchises. He left them down-ridden franchises though and miraculously landed even more head coaching positions.
Now you guys want to say, "Yeah, but he would be a great Coordinator!"
Why would Wannstache be a great coordinator? Has he developed a scheme that others used as a staple for the past twenty years? Was he innovated in ANY way? What is he known for? I read someone give him credit for recruiting High School boys in Western PA ... can I get a bowl of soup with that recommendation?
Don't post again about Wannstache being a DC unless you can add substance to your post to support it. Why would he be a great DC, because he sucked as a head coach, and lost his players at every turn?

Can't tell if that's sarcasm. In case it isn't, I am sure he wouldn't take a demotion from the same team. I could see him going elsewhere though for the gig.

no. i'm pretty sure that is sarcasm. like mangini would want anything to do with holmgren ever again, except to bring a team into cleveland and beat the snot out of us...........sorta like this year dousing the pats and being 2 mins away from beating the jets.
