Yeah, became familiar with the Ohio St Michigan deal with huskies facing Michigan. Hadn't connected macdonald with it.


You guys be bitching about Lombardi, talk about a dinosaur. He called the forward pass frivolous. :lol:
In 1966 the Packers were 6th in Passing Yards and 8th in Rushing Yards. Led the league in Net Yards per attempt.

Don Brown while is considered a good DC that lived by man to man or one on one for wide outs vs DBs. They worked for them against lesser talent but not the better teams. Agreed he like Carrol just lost a little of what they did well.

Yeah it was a different era. Lions threw 8 TD passes and had 28 pics. Point is the Packer were ranked higher in Passing than Running. Lombardi was a true Renaissance man! lol

See that Bobby Slowik has one season as a OC. Makes MacDonald look like a wisened veteran

So is Carroll going to stick around in some "advisory" capacity after failing to land the Chargers HC job?

Actually not that impressed. Two seasons coordinating the Ravens defense. That defense has been pretty good for some time now. It's not like he created it. Has done a good job running it.
The Ravens Defensive rankings the last three years.
2021
19th in total defense (Dead LAST against the pass. That's right, worse than Seattle!)

2022
3rd in total defense

2023
1st in total defense

Yeah, I'd be unimpressed with his two years as DC too. :shock: :roll:

Truly sad day for Dan Quinn. First, he doesn't get the Hawks gig - so he's going to DC to coach the Commies. Yikes!
