Asked if the Saints ever offered Williams a contract, Payton responded: "We’re really putting the cart ahead of the horse. We never really got to that spot."

Count Nolan and..
MAYBE Spagmania out. Nolan is now the d-cord for the Falcons. Spags interviewed for D-cord for Indy yesterday, they fire Jim Caldwell today.

Yup, the good names are starting to drop, and we lost one to a division rival. Already starting to get scary.
-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
Personally
I am thinking that the Nolan hiring in Falcon-ville may prove to be more of a problem than a benefit in the short-term. That team is already struggling with it’s identity. They tried to switch to pass first by betting big on JJ. Now they bring in a 3-4 guy when they are set-up for a 4-3. I see disarray for a few years.
I like Hamburgers!
Uh oh...better put an Asterisk on it.
Not really.
They have some natural shuffling in personnel in FA this year that could make the transition a lot easier. They have a lot of good young talent on that side of the ball with Babs, Grimes, Spoon etc. They may need most of a year to transition…but I think it’ll be smooth. Remember Nolan walked in and implemented the 3-4 in Denver when they had been a 4-3 for years and they played lights out ball for the first half of the season. Same thing with what just happened in Houston. A good D Coord can make it work. And Nolan is good.

I am not disputing Nolan's effectiveness historically.
I just think that the impact would be less if they knew who they were on offense. Trying to determine “who they are” on both sides of the ball is going to be significantly more difficult (IMO).
I like Hamburgers!
Uh oh...better put an Asterisk on it.
I'm with Jeff on this one
Top 5 defense in 2012. The Falcons already play hard and intense…they’re just out of position too much. Nolan will fix that.
We’re in for rough weather.
What! shall we curse the planets of mishap
That plotted thus our glory's overthrow?
Well we shall see I suppose...
Really depends on their roster issues and cap casualties etc. Nolan has a track record of success. But I am putting my betting money on a step back next year for the Falcons.

Why
Would anyone want to go to Indy. That place is in complete disarray. No coach, new management, total rebuilding mode. Glutton for punishment if he goes there.
I like Hamburgers!
Uh oh...better put an Asterisk on it.
Maybe he’s being offered the head coaching position instead of DC. It’s not like anyone else is likely to make him a head coach soon, so this may be his best chance.

Possible I suppose
But not the way I would go about it.

Hiring a defensive coordinator before you hire a head coach is kinda strange. I think they’re probably interviewing him for head coach…in which case, he has only a very small chance at getting the gig. Maybe he’ll still be available.
Don’t do it, Spags!
What! shall we curse the planets of mishap
That plotted thus our glory's overthrow?
No I think it was for DC
Caldwell interviewed him… and then got fired today… quite sneaky if it turns out that way…
Yes sir we want the ball...
He interviewed yesterday for DC…which means he interviewed before the firing. It might be possible that Indy was so impressed with him they felt like they could fire Caldwell and offer him the job…who knows at this point. The sudden firing of Caldwell, however, I believe makes the DC interview pointless now if they don’t go that route. No head coach is going to want a DC hired that they had no say in…even one as well thought of as Spags.
-Lombardi was wrong...it's the internet, not fatigue that makes cowards of us all. But then again, what do you expect. Not like the guy could see the future.
If the Colts offered me the job, I’d take it Spags and all. Anyone have Irsay’s phone number?

Maybe Payton will just get Vitt hired up as the DC!!!!
starts to vomit

Not eager to see an in-house promotion
Especially Vitt. His LBs have left much to be desired. And with the piss poor play of the D line, I wouldn’t be all too sad to see Johnson go elsewhere.

Hence my vomiting.
I 100% agree…an in-house promotion would be disaster.

Flagged!
Haslett used to drive me crazy by not replacing him even though our D was last or close to last in the league three years straight.

Later Triple G
Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya! Sharper made him look good in 09, and the 49ers game was the last straw for me. Yes, Dave, I am a a GW hater; always have been. So, whatever.
I think perhaps we're being a little too dramatic
Mike Nolan is a good coach, but it’s not like the falcons are turning into the 85 bears overnight. I expected the Falcons to get better at DC this offseason and they have.
We’re still planning on talking to Spags tomorrow, so we’re still in the race. But even if we don’t get him, there are other coaches in the world. I know we’re all on suicide watch after Saturday, but let’s just wait and reserve judgement until we hire someone.

^^^^^THIS!
Did y’all forget about the second half of the season in Denver for Nolan? And there are some personnel issues in Atlanta on defense (Ray Edwards, Peria Jerry, Dunta Robinson)

per footballscoop.com…..Colts: We hear the Colts plan to interview Jim Tressel for the head coaching position.
Bring back Aaron Brooks! He's the only one who can save us from the evil that is Drew Brees!!

I’d rather have a cardboard cutout of Jim Caldwell coaching the Colts than Jim Tressel.

I fail to see why that's so humorous. He's a proven coach who can win at the collegiate level at least. And in the NFL, nobody cares about trading a jersey for a tattoo. It's no different than any other collegiate hire...which in cases like Harbaugh
..can prove quite beneficial.
