Has already been reported that Riviera chose Jack Del Rio as his DC rather than Steve Wilks. It's still possible Wilks could join him as a secondary coach, though. That job could also go to Perry Fewell.

Jeremy Fowler mention John Pagano's name as an option for the staff as well. Pagano was Rivera's linebacker coach in San Diego before succeeding him at DC, if I remember correctly. Al Holcomb could be an option there too but Pagano probably has the better reputation.

Ron's early entry means he'll get a crack at the best available assistants before the other head coaches are even hired.

It doesn't matter if Ron has the best available assistants to choose from. He'll only hire guys he knows well and is very comfortable with. Wouldn't want anyone bringing any new ideas or concepts to the equation.

Does Del Rio fit that mold though?

I think so. A lot of people in Oakland were tired of JDR by the time he got canned, but he's shown that he can at least develop a stud on the front line. Look at Julius Peppers in '02, Von Miller in '11 and now (probably) Chase Young.

 

Edit: I actually misspoke, as well as the guy on twitter who looked at this. JDR was hired a year after Miller was drafted. However, Miller's production went through the room from 11.5 sacks to 18.5 the next year.

Somebody on Twitter just pointed out that Julius Peppers, Von Miller and (expected) Chase Young will all have been drafted number two overall in years when their teams hired Jack Del Rio to be the DC.

Hell of a coincidence...

Yeh but it was Wade Phillips that drove the stake through our hearts... 

there’s talk that the Rams might not bring Wade back and his contract is up.  I think he would be great here. It’s not Wades fault the Rams traded away all their draft picks and paid 1/2 their cap space to 4 players.  He would be a scapegoat.

Agreed. To me Wade is a great example of an outstanding coordinator that makes a lousy HC. ID take him as DC in a heartbeat though.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Difference between you and I here on this convo….is you only acknowledge PFF.   It’s hyper fixation from folks that get creative  and blinders to the rest.  Put that one website to the side, and all the other aspects we use to declare what top 10 looks like wouldn’t put Bryce in that type talk.

      What it tries to do is grade each player individually IMO. If XL drops a nice pass it tries to make it not hurt the player than threw the pass and if on a similar pass a WR like DK makes a leaping one handed catch it tries to even out how much credit the QB gets vs the WR. Yeah it has grey areas because some of it can fall under opinion despite them using specific measurements and charts to justify their definitions. Like it or not PFF isn’t going anywhere. Analytics are trending up right now.

      I’m getting 2 of 7 off his passing chart that day for balls that traveled at least 20 yards in the air.   And 20 yards in the air is largely the consensus of a deep ball.   that’s why I keep saying people are just running with a headline.  Because his best in the week deep declaration is based off a 2 of 7 day.  PFF is declaring him best off the day and using plays like a 50/50 jump ball to AT that went incomplete to build it.  That week was full of guys that factually were better deep…..everywhere but PFFs website.  Lamar, Stafford, Nix and on and on were all better in reality that week.  Hell, Mahomes in that same game.   PFF basically does a what if alternate reality on those deep throws.  So the volume of just throwing up a jump ball aids the PFF stat pending it’s a good 50/50 ball.
