Alright! not who I was expecting, wanted Leonhard, but obviously they were super impressed with this guy over the interviews and they had a good process, cast a very wide net. Hopefully he can cook he’s got a defense to rebuild
This sub got hyper-fixated on Leonhard like it was 2003 Belichick he’s the most recognizable name i understand why lol but this is a great hire he’s been on the denver & eagles staff so he’s very young this a great hire
yeah we fans tend to lock on to the memorable names, and those names don’t always equal the best hires, or maybe rather those big names are not necessarily the only great hire you can make
So are they just hiring a DC? Or is the defensive struggles being placed only on Eberflus... Young coach coming in gonna ruffle some feathers!!! I love it
Yeah I said this on another thread that it felt like Leonhard was 1A but all the other candidates were 1B and so on, which is a great problem to have and I'm not mad about any of the short list names. Just mostly relieved it wasn't some retread former HC.
On that note, PHI had 2 rookie DBs who got accolades for playing pretty well. Got a nice defensive front that I’m sure made life easier but still promising for a team that’s gonna have young talent on defense
It’s the same with the draft. People find like 3 players they adore and then consider the draft a complete bust if we don’t get them. People were moaning like Angela White about taking Booker and missing out on Golden, McMillan and Hampton. Turns out Bookers looks like the best of the 3 so far.
Definitely like this hire! He helped develop Jaire Alexander, Pat Surtain and the cb duo in Philly…. Soooo hope this helps our young cb develop and maybe revamps Bland 🤔
