Clifford

I like his style.

He's definitely a no-nonsense type of guy.

My only complaint is that sometimes he sticks with the second unit (mainly Ridnour) too long.

 

 

I agree.  I am thinking he wants to try to keep those guys as fresh as possible for the stretch run.  Those minutes add up.

Agreed. However, he said recently that he's getting in the playoff-push rotation, meaning a shorter leash for second unit guys and less time for "player development".

It will be Clifford in my opinion. He is really showing to be a good coach that teaches fundamentals and has a solid feel for the game. Continues to improve as a coach and has surrounded himself with a excellent staff.  

 

Brown was too old school for me and tried bringing in players that did something 10 yrs ago for him. He didnt adjust to the roster he had and rather made moves that crippled us for many years. Adding Nazr and Diop where horrible short vision moves by a guy trying to win some games today and not worried about tomorrow. I wont sit and say he wasnt at one time a good coach winning a college and NBA championship speaks for itself. He never sustained success anywhere bouncing around the league a lot, he won with talent loaded Det team that had a dominant run over 3-5 years where he should have won more. Only the Lakers and Spurs were constant challengers and feel he left a ring on the table. I am too young to talk of his college days but heck he has done a solid with SMU this year lol. His career winning % is 56.8, really not that impressive looking at the numbers.

    • yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO  
    • Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.
    • Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
