Gibbs is ex-nfl, but I think you pass on this one. No pun intended.
Dude, that ship has sailed and that horse has been beaten to death, no use beating it anymore.
My current proposal is that we bring in Manster54 as a grad assistant so that he can get up-to-date with the players, then he will get promotion to defensive quality control, and then ultimately promoted to defensive coordinator by our October 4 game against Tulsa.
I like Gibbs. He helped start the Jack Boyz and the Third Ward Defense.
If correct, vic koening is the son of former, long time cy-creek head coach. He has massive ties to Texas hs football. Would be a homerun hire for the d. I. Surprised his name has not surfaced earlier.
I know heās older but how about Jerry Glanville? Heās in the CFL now. It would be House of Pain 2 at TDECU! I half kid, but he couldnāt be any worse than whatās here now.
Older is right - heās almost 80!
Speaking of older gentlemen, what about Wade Phillips? Eventually heās gonna have to settle down somewhere, might as well be us. You know heād have a good pool to choose from for defensive assistants. This would be a long-term hire that transcends coaches getting fired, leaving, coming in, etc. Wade would have the option to stay as long as the defense is doing well.
Iād love Wade to come home, but I donāt think he wants to deal with college recruiting. Heās also making a lot more money as an NFL DC than he would as a college DC.
Fine with Gibbs
Half the people on the board would be better than the DC we have now.
Wade is dream but a good one!

agree, i think Koenning ideal candidateā¦wins over LSU in Baton Rouge and Nebraska in Lincoln while at Troy.
I like Phil Bennett, great defenses every stop.
