Have a say? Sure, but staff is uo to the head coach, who also happens to be a defensive coordinator. Now reciever coach, maybe you have something to gripes about

So as a dc say you want to run heavy press coverage.  The db coach teaches primarily off coverage.  Could that not become an issue on the field?  I liked in the past our coordinators picking their staffs.  It worked real well for a long time.

I get your point, but a db coach should not just be teaching one type of coverage.

Each coach, yes, has a slightly different way they want to have, in this instance, dbs plays coverage. 

But, as Billick did with his offensive players, the hc, if knowledgeable on one side of the ball or the other, lays out how they want that side to be. 

Now in this case, Minter worked with Minkens and they have the same approach to playing defense, so it make good sense.

Hey, maybe Minter is going to be the DC afteralll, who knows.

I loved it when Marvin had this staff set with the right guys everywhere.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Baltimore is set to hire former Atlanta run game coordinator/offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford for the same job and title.

Ledford, 49, had served as the Falcons line coach since 2021, adding run game coordinator to his title when Raheem Morris became head coach in 2024.

Ledford spent time with several franchises as a player, appearing in nine games for San Francisco from 2000-2003

I was not impressed with Atlanta.
