What would our record be this year if Spags was our DC?

Zebra3 : 11/27/2014 2:59 pm
Fewell 3-8
Spags 5-6 I think we beat Dallas and SF with a more aggressive DC.
Better results in Seattle and Philadelphia. Maybe a W there too.
Obviously

no one remembers how spags did with a horrible roster in NO.

16-0  
chris r : 11/27/2014 3:07 pm : link
or 15-1-1 at worst.

IMO. FWIW.

the defense was lacking before all the injuries. The play calls have been shit all year. Any aggressive DC would have had better results This is altimeter bad D here.
8-3

Would have beat Dallas twice (and Romo would be on IR with a broken ass). Would have beat Arizona, Niners and Colts.

Fewell is fucking pathetic.
All time bad

Math fail.
Spags

Would use the personal better. Kiwi would not be in the game as much.
JPP would be moved around and stunts would be used more by the DL.
Moore aggressive style would be used more,Prince and DRC would have been used more in man coverage. Cover two would be our prevent defense not base. Bromley would get snaps in run situations.
I'd take him next year.  
GIANTSinDE : 11/27/2014 5:50 pm : link
Failed as a HC. No one could succeed with NO that one year.
It's not as if he can't coach defense.
Spags in 15!!
no idea but

from a fan friendly PR standpoint for next season I think it may happen if TC stays.

Simms : 11/27/2014 7:14 pm : link
I thought spags was asst hc? So can move to another team as a dc?
10-1  
arcarsenal : 11/27/2014 7:21 pm : link
The only loss would have come against the Eagles when we scored zero pts on offense.

Spagnola would have held all the other teams to one score or less
I also vote for 10-0-1  
bignygfan : 11/27/2014 8:11 pm : link
A 0-0 tie with the Eagles the only blemish.

Spags loved to mix it, unpredictable . Overloads, corner blitz, safety blitz. Dogs Lbers, zone blitz. Trap plays. Everyone was involved, the players loved him. They respected him.

Fewell coaches scarred and the players don't respect him.
For the dreamers here...  
CT Charlie : 11/27/2014 10:04 pm : link
Spags could serve as DC for two seasons, taking over as HC. Was he a bad HC in St. Louis or was he just inexperienced? He seems like the kind of guy the Maras like, disciplined and respectful but passionate.

Is this a serious post or was the middle of that paragraph a football version of mad-libs?

Are you sure about that? Spags depended on his d-line to generate pressure just as much as Fewell. In fact the defensive Coordinator with the most sacks from linebackers and defensive backs was Sheridan. Somehow I doubt that vaunted Double A-gap blitz you love would work as well with Paysinger or Herzlich as one of the blitzers...

This is incorrect.
Check  
Semipro Lineman : 11/27/2014 11:25 pm : link
the stats. How many sacks did spags teams have in his two seasons that weren't from a defensive lineman? Compare that number to what Sheridan and Fewell have had each year.
Think we'd be 7-4, so far ...

Losses to the …

Lions - Fewell tried EVERYTHING against Stafford, he just tore us up (with basically no running game)

Philly - We had no answer for anything, against them. when we couldn't slow their running game, it was over very quick

Colts - Basically a repeat of Lions game, Luck looked unstoppable

Seattle - Wilson & Lynch ripped us; they basically had no passing game, but it didn't matter

We'd probably ended the season 10-6, with wins against the Jags, Titans and Skins (maybe even 11-5, if we beat the Rams. Trouble with that is that we'd gone out very quickly in the play-offs , and eventual had a low pick in the 2015 draft.

I like Perry Fewell, but he's no Spags

diable : 11/27/2014 11:51 pm : link
You don't have to get a sack from the blitzer for the play to be successful.

Sending a nickel on a blitz would generate pressure and either precipitate the throw or flush the qb off his mark. For rest game the qb would have to worry about the nickel.

When's the last Fewell called a cornerblitz?
Take it back ...  
Manny in CA : 11/27/2014 11:52 pm : link
We might be 8-3 now ; I don't think a Spags defense would have let Wilson had this way with us.

But again, it would have been "fools gold", because eventually we would have been as phony as Dallas is this year.
Hard to say....  
Doomster : 11/28/2014 9:12 am : link
But I think he would have used his players better than Fewell, by putting them in a position to win, instead of playing scared....Possibly, 5-6.....

Spags has had no success since he left  
PatersonPlank : 11/28/2014 12:48 pm : link
He is very overrated by BBi.Our record would be the same. We need a top flight DC from either the NFL or college.
The key is ….  
Manny in CA : 11/28/2014 4:08 pm : link
We've consistently lost to teams who were our equal on that day ….

Twice to Dallas, once each to Seattle and the Niners.

When Spags went to the Rams (as head coach), he was a fine example of the Peter Principal - Promoted to the level of his incompetence. (There are exceptions to this rule - Bill Bilichick, but not many)

When he went to the Saints, he went to a team that was demonized and demoralized by the NFL. I doubt that any of the players there heard anything he said.

Coughlin believes in him because he has succeeded here.
