Welcome to mediocrity.

So you think Atlanta lucked out here by not going after him? I figured the Mike Smith connection would be the deciding factor.

Del Rio doesn't know how to win and when he is winning he puts the game on cruise control. But this is just him as a head coach so who knows how he'll do as a DC.

Del Rio was John Fox's defensive coordinator in 2002, Fox's first year in Carolina. One year after going 1-15, the team finished the year as the second best defense in the NFL (behind the SB champion Buccaneers).

Good move for Denver. He was a bad head coach, but will thrive in the DC spot.

Nolan >>> Del Rio

That being said I was still surprised when we didn't get Del Rio and got the DC I actually wanted.

I still can't believe Jacksonville gave Mike Mularkey the job.
To quote The Miz: Really?

Frankly, the Jags had the chance to think outside the box and give the job to Montreal Alouettes' coach Marc Trestman ... and they chose Mularkey. Really?

Is that a pop warner team?

Del Rio is a good coordinator. Not a bad hire by any stretch.
