Mike Nolan to be DC for the Broncos

[skywalker2208]

Just heard it on the news that Nolan and Capers are possible candidates to be the defensive coordinators for the Broncos. I don't have a link because I heard it on the news.

[bigPaco80]

I saw it on the ticker on espn

[Mace Windu]

I thought Nolan was headed to Green Bay.

Not sure what happened in Green Bay but it looks like he is headed to Denver according to NFL radio.

[fabie]

I actually think that he should have been the 49ers DC instead of the HC. I always suspect DCs to be HCs for they are very defensive indeed! :laugh:

[Beat Writer]

Nolan is a great coach. Nice hire by the new HC of Denver.

I'll be routing for them.

Nolan is soft like toilet paper!
Denver still won't have any D

[Sivraj]

Have fun running the big nickel lol.

[Nevyn]

The absolutely hilarious part of this .... Mike Nolan may end up dumping jamie Winborn from a second team.

[jackacid]

I thought they were trying to improve Denver's D? :laugh:

[Brian Jennings]

Watch Nolan's horrible defensive philosophy get Bailey torched 10 times a game. The media will declare that Bailey is done after the biggest dropoff of his career.

Looks to be official should be announced later today..

Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports the Denver Broncos are expected to name Mike Nolan as the team's defensive coordinator, according to a team source.

[Ace Matherton]

Its official!

[Brian Jennings]

Whats the over/under on how many seasons he has there? 1.5?

[WisNinerFan]

best of luck to him

[Sivraj]

They're really going to be rollin with nolan down the drain.

[Bivouac]

Whats the over/under on how many seasons he has there? 1.5?

Well, considering Denver goes through DC's as fast as we go through OC's, I'll take the under.

Hopefully Singletary and McDaniel can stop these maddening revolving doors...

[bigPaco80]

Is Denver going to switch to the 3-4, I say this because Mcdaniels comes from NE who ran a 3-4 and now Nolan. Plus I wonder how Engleberger feels about Nolan coming to Denver.

[gnoix]

Congrats and best of luck to him.

[ninerjeff]

i feel sorry for denver fans right now. raiders chargers and chiefs fans should be ECSTATIC!:)

[bard]

Dam,

I'm moving to Denver from Orlando and was excited to have a football team to get behind, after the 9ers of course. Now I have to deal with this tool again, just dam depressing really.

[Benji]

good place for him. I feel good for him.

[Finer9rFan]

I gotta laugh at some of you guys...the same guys that said the Cards were going to get torched in the playoffs...lol...

[Roaring Back]

Good for Mike. I hope he gets the job.

[4evrnyt]

thought this was already being discussed in the Denver's new HC thread. Do the mod's do anything but make their own posts around here?

[Calm_Cool_49er]

hmm...

Can Denver transfer to the 3-4 seamlessly?

I bet Nolan will do an excellent job as a DC there. McDaniels should never let him call the shots on personel though.

[MistaViP]

McDaniels reportedly already has started filling his staff with the Broncos. NFL.com reported that former 49ers head coach Mike Nolan is expected to join Denver as the team's defensive coordinator.

[Sivraj]

The big nickel will be very effective.

[WingMan4TheD]

I don't necessarily believe that Mike Nolan will succeed as the DC for the Broncos. Remember the only time he had success was when he had that vaunted Baltimore D. Most DC's can have success with the Ravens. I don't think Mike Nolan has the mental capacity to be a very good DC. I just didn't see a brilliant/bold mind in Nolan on the sidelines. Characteristics which make up a great coach. Instead I saw a fearful conservative mind that lacked innovation and smart aggression. I saw a lot of timidness, inconsistency, lack of creativity, poor clock management and confusion. If he can succeed in Denver, all the kudos to him. I wish him all the luck. But I don't think that will be the case.

[russelmania]

Who cares? Good ridance and good luck

[JRO49]

Dang! I was hoping he would end up in our division as a defensive cordinator so we can run all over him and his nickel package!

Seriously we would've ran all over that ****!

fixed.

However, very well put and right to the point.

[JRO49]

Do we play the Broncos next year?

no.

[TouchdownBuddha]

Ha ha Jamie Winborn is on the Broncos...

[The OLD Cookie Monster]

McDaniels as a HC is a joke.

[JRO49]

McDaniels as a HC is a joke.

He is going to be a BUST.

Nolan will take advantage of him...

Coach why did you Challenge against yourself???
"well ... from my standpoint along the sidelines, I thought Brandon marshall caught the ball, so I challenged it, because I wanted the right call for the NFL, and I still lost my challenge, trying to challenge against myself.

What about the second Challenge?...
From my standpoint, I was standing, on a point... and Cutler threw the ball, but I thought it was a forward fumble thrown 25 yards to Marshall, so i challenged that too.

Why did you attempt a third challenge???

Well I thought we needed to use it at that time... I didn't think that they made that extra point. I thought when it hit the net behind there goal post that that means it didn't make it all the way through. Now let me clarify this... if I was a genius I wouldn't be a Head Coach.


Coach where do see this team going after that horrible loss???

“I told the team this is the second step of our journey, ... We look at the film and correct our errors, but it's as important to act like a champion after a loss as it is after a win. And that entails saying the right things and holding your head high. We had a big victory (10-9 over St. Louis) a week ago. This loss does not do anything but teach us a lot of things about where this team is headed.”

[beasley for pres]

I wonder if Nolan will convince the bronoco's to pick up some of our trash players?

[pogoowner]

Ha ha Jamie Winborn is on the Broncos...
And you know full well he'll get no playing time on defense... haha.

[cedniner]

I wonder if he'll still be sporting the suits on the sidelines even as a coordinator :)

[NinerRider]

Ha ha Jamie Winborn is on the Broncos...

Is Engelberger still there? D. Jackson as well.

[SBbound49ers]

I wonder what happened with GB. They were a piece or two away from a very good defense and will more than likely use their 1st rounder on D. Denver's D is a mess.

[TouchdownBuddha]

Is Engelberger still there? D. Jackson as well.

Engleberger is for sure...don't know about Jackson.

[UtterlyHopeless]

Broncos 0-16

[LVNiner80]

only improvement will come to denver with this hiring.

[SBbound49ers]

Engleberger is for sure...don't know about Jackson.

He barely contributed anything. I doubt they bring him back.

We made all of Nolan guy's in to towel boys.

[Ryan Leaf]

Ravens left over players are heading to Denver. :D

[101South]

Hope Bowlen likes vanilla.

Hope Winborn can stop "freelancing".

Hope Denver can draft a Ray Lewis to get Nowin over the top.

[JRO49]

Ravens left over players are heading to Denver. :D

Maybe our leftovers??? :unsure:

[Brian Jennings]

Watch the Broncos go out and sign Derek Smith in the offseason

[night owl]

Nolan is a great coach. Nice hire by the new HC of Denver.

I'll be routing for them.

I am glad that Mike Nolan a place. He just wans't HC material.

Not for long!!! :laugh:

But good luck to Nolan. I can see him becoming a successful HC some day.

I am thankful for the rebuilding Nolan did here.

The Denver Broncos Organization will somehow all of a sudden crumble into the ground. Congrats Mike Nolan, stay far away. :drive:

Denver still won't have any DI heard Nolan's first move in Denver is to bring in Middlebrooks to shore up the defense:)

Wasn't McDaniels the OC?

Took me by suprise because i really thought he was going to be a GB-Packer but thats just the 3rd bad decision the Denver Broncos made in the last month...

[NinersFanatic]

Win or lose, he'll look good doing it. :pards:

[iheartniners]

I really don't think that we can say too much bad about Mike Nolan. He attempted to bring in quality guys and character guys and he did, to a degree. He just didn't quite have the variables for a head coaching position, but the way he left, telling Singletary to take the job and giving him his blessing, shows maturity and wisdom. I wish him the best of luck and think he will do a fine job, not amazing, but well nonetheless

[mason04]

Broncos hire Nolan as defensive coordinator

Any questions about who would be Denver’s defensive coordinator now can be officially dismissed. The Broncos hired former 49ers coach Mike Nolan on Tuesday and gave him a two-year contract. Nolan returns to the Broncos franchise he worked for from 1987-1992.

Jay Culter better have his arm strong and loose for '09. The Broncos must average 35 points a game to win with the type of "defense" that Nolan used in SF.

[euronimous]

I was wondering when someone was going to point out his HUGE mistake and laugh at him for it. Nobody liked you in school did they? Fing grammar cops. :bat:

[euronimous]

Nolan was a complete disaster in SF. I thought even if he wasn't a good head coach that he was going to bring something to table defensively that would make our defense better. All he did was hold our defense back. Good luck in Denver coach. They will love the big nickel there with all those defensive backs they have. They also lack front seven talent as well so it should go over well.

[762]

Nolan knows the game, he just doesnt know how to manage a game. I expected him to end up as a coordinator some where and I think we all knew it wasnt going to be an offensive coordinator.
