Do You Like The Colts Hiring Greg Manusky As Defensive Coordinator

…there’s no option for OH HELL FUCK NO!

1) He’s another 3-4 guy
2) He’s not Larry Coyer

I know his track record sucks, but so does the Colts defense. The fact that it looks like we’re transitioning to a 3-4 or 3-4 hybrid, and bringing in coaches to do that, is encouraging to me.

I’ll reserve judgement, but his 1 year in SD doesn’t bode well for my confidence.

I was hesitant to see Greg Manusky go when Jim Harbaugh was hired. He’s a great motivator, and his scheme made San Francisco’s defense a force before it had some of the top-tier players it has now. But it IS a bend-but-don’t-break scheme that did happen to break when it was sorely needed. It was the kind of defense that you didn’t necessarily NEED to have a high-flying offense with, but it was one where a one-armed Alex Smith wasn’t able to supplement. The last five minutes of the game, even with a two-score lead were the most terrifying times ever because Manusky is a firm believe in his sub prevent and … it doesn’t work. At all. He draws up some great blitzes, but doesn’t know when to use them. He’s done wonders with linebackers in the past.

In short, I think he’s good for a rebuilding team because he’s such a good motivator and should be competent out the gate, but he has his flaws. The biggest question mark is the fact that Mike Nolan severely hampered Manusky in San Francisco, Mike Singletary had to do things his way, and San Diego is always looking for a scapegoat. Manusky WAS on the up-and-up and considered a potential head-coaching candidate before the last year or so in San Francisco.

I wouldn’t ask him back at this point, but you guys could have done so much worse.

“If you feel as though you want to give Manusky ‘a chance’ and, thus, have no opinion, then don’t vote.”

LOL! Just because someone wants to give the guy a chance doesn’t mean that one has no opinion on whether or not this was a “good hire.”

Take me for instance: I would much rather have seen someone like Mike Singletary or Spagnulo (sp?), so I’m kinda down on this hire. But like Lennon and peace, I’ll give this guy a chance.

a joke of course, but kinda not

Pagano could always overrule this guy if he stinks up the joint.

Colts ‘fans’ need to take it down a notch with regards to the immediate hatred of every decision.

I love these pickups. A shift that was needed 5 years ago. A scout and player personnel guy from Philly, a D Coordinator from Baltimore, a great OC from Pitt, and now this – an aggressive D Coordinator with a track record of success better than anyone on our side for at least 12+ years. Very well respected by players who played hard for him in his SF stint. Remember: Coordinators don’t play.

Lets talk about how we never have to watch one more play of the Cover 2 (worst defense ever) and how in (no more than) 2 years we’ll have huge jacked maniacs all over our D that have a simple common goal of kicking your ass. Maybe even starting this year.

Lets talk about how now we go after 2 established veteran OG’s and developing a power-running game to compliment a soon-to-be very physical D. Then throw in (maybe) Peyton, or Luck and things are moving in a solid direction.

Considering the many different ways a new GM, Coach, O Coordinator, and D Coordinator could have gone, I’m ecstatic with the New Crew.

Peace.
