As he was a big fan of Wellington Mara, it seems to be rather personal.The more that comes out about Johnny, the more I wish he would sell his half to Tish, move on and take all his kin with him.

Who is, as you say, aspiring, this year could be a waste of time next year. It's always the 'hot' guy, as was Kadka and Wink last year, but have one dreadful year and that stock goes way down.
I agree on some retreads, but a guy like Rivera, who cut his teeth on the defensive side of the ball, then became an HC and a successful one at that, will, most likely, still be a good, if not very good, defensive-minded guy.
For me, I don't think his negatives are his defensive schemes, I think just if he would get along as a sort of underling of Daboll.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on January 20, 2024, 01:44:53 PMYou're right. I guess my point was more that you do have some retreads out there who are good DCs. Jim Schwartz is an example. So is Spags. So is Vic Fangio. I think you tend not to see them as much with OCs. Bill O'Brien types are usually busts.All solid points.
Of course, I get your point that it would be great to find the next Demeco Ryans. The only thing I'd say to that though is if you do manage to find a young DC who is excellent and he has never been a HC before, you're probably going to lose him in a couple years. With a Schwartz type you don't have to worry about that.
