Yep. I would prefer that we hire someone that isn't a buddy of Andy. We need someone that will bring something different to the team. We don't need another kissass that will worry more about Reid's feelings than doing his job.

Many posters here have mentioned him and he would be exciting.
Also, probably wont happen for many reasons. We dont have time for an unproven DC to find his sea legs, we are win now. Andy has nothing to do with that side of the ball. Not any help for a brand new DC. Andy needs a guy who can be a HC for the D. |

We have a 23 year old MVP at quarterback. Yes, I am aware that he'll soon cost money but the reason he'll cost that much money is because literally every team in the NFL would switch places with us and GLADLY pay him that money to have them running the show for them. This isn't a situation where we're running into the possibility of having to extend Mariota at twice his actual value because we're scared of having nothing at the position. We will be paying top of the market prices for the top of the market player at the most important position in pro sports. Okay - and? We can win any season for the next decade. And if breaking in a young new DC takes more time than we thought but yields dividends for the next 5 years, so be it. You're advocating putting duct tape on a hole in the hull so we can limp around for a bit and hope to get to port on time. I'm saying dry dock it, fix the damn hull outright and even if we can't make up enough time to save that delivery, we may have a half dozen more that we're better off for because of it. And I'm just completely unwilling to concede that some of the brightest young defensive minds in football can't come in here and 'find their sea legs' by the end of a 17 week regular season after having an entire off-season to get things kicked off. Your approach here is is just completely wrongheaded, IMO. |

With just a few steps forward we are in the Superbowl. If a brand new DC isnt able to do any better for a year or two, we may have a completely different team by then. I agree it seems short sighted but the only explanation is that they are looking at the short term fix. |

He is very intriguing. The only issue I have with him is mainly concerning Reid's hands off approach to defense. Hewitt from what I am aware of has no play calling or game planning experience at any level. I see that as possible liability for a young new coordinator with Andy.
