Would a Switch To The 3-4 Be a Good Move For The Falcons?

Found January 10, 2012 on Blogging Dirty:
PLAYERS: Steve Spagnuolo,  Raheem Morris,  Jack Del Rio
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams,  Tampa Bay Buccaneers,  Atlanta Falcons,  Jacksonville Jaguars

Im sure all of you are aware that yesterday former Falcons DC Brian Van Gorder vacated his post in Atlanta to take the Defensive Coordinator position at Auburn University. Given that, it really opens up the Falcons to many potential avenues that they can pursue on the defensive side of the ball. The top 4-3 coordinator Steve Spagnuolo looks like he is heading to Philly, there are other options for a 4-3 including Raheem Morris, Mel Tucker and Jack Del Rio. However, one out of the box idea is the Falcons could completely shift their philosophy on defense to a 3-4. I will take a look at who we could bring in to run this 3-4 scheme? and also look at whether it would be a fit with our current personnel. … [visit site to read more] Would a Switch To The 3-4 Be a Good Move For The Falcons? - Blogging Dirty - Blogging Dirty - An Atlanta Falcons Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

Eagles Will Hire Steve Spagnuolo

Via The Viking Age  |  January 10, 2012
Let’s face facts: It was always a long-shot that the Vikings would actually hire Steve Spagnuolo as their defensive coordinator.

But give the Vikings credit for at least taking a look at the former Giants defensive coordinator and Rams head coach. They did their due diligence...

A Week into Coaching Search, Few Answers Abound

Via The Pewter Plank  |  January 10, 2012
The Bucs aren't much closer to their next head coach. So far little has turned up in the Buccaneers search for a new head coach besides an unsettling trend. Raheem Morris was given the axe last Monday and since then the Bucs have interviewed a number of candidates that are seemingly less and less palatable by the interview. I’ve said before that I wasn’t a big fan...
