I know we have other threads on Quinn leaving, speculation, but it might be better to start fresh now that we know Quinn is gone.
The idea is to either roll forward with internal candidates to maintain continuity with philosophy and personnel or pivot to an entirely new system if an external hire comes aboard.
Here is what we have to choose from:
Internal
Whitt (if he does not go) - It would make sense on both sides.
Al Harris - A thought as a fall back for Whitt and if you want to maintain continuity with the defensive style. It also allows for no disruption in coverage schemes which fit our personnel.
Aden Durde - Eh. I guess it would be a diversity hire since he is not only black, but British.
External
Ron Rivera - I don't think he has the energy to implement his scheme in just one offseason. I have other reasons for not wanting him, but that is a start.
Wink Martindale – He was terrible in New York, but okay in Baltimore, not so great to decent previously. I would still consider him. Baltimore had a good enough defense but he had to coach up some too.
Mike Zimmer – This would be easy and comfortable for Jones for certain.
Sean Desai – Ex-Eagles guy who fits the rage for the Fangio spin-offs. I am not impressed all.
Ejero Evero – He has been a hot HC candidate for years. Not a bad DC, despite what happened to him in Carolina. Well worth an interview.
Mike Pettine - He is a former DC for Fat Mike that might be willing to take a shit job for a year and hopefully get back on the map. This would be a nightmare hire.
Brandon Staley – I hated some of his decisions as a HC, but some of the defensive playcalls he made helped get him fired. Still talk to him but keep that in mind.
There might be a few other younger defensive coaches, but doing that would be a mistake.
I may have missed some, but that is a good start.
