    This is the first hire I do not like. Title sucks, Witt sucks

    Looking at article, doesn't look like his message was getting across?
    Why are we hiring these people from Washington? They have
    stunk for years.

    His stint as a DC isnt inspiring but he reportedly will be working with the secondary. During his time in GB, they had the most takeaways.

    Witt was way terrible as a DC in Washington.
    Now granted....... they had old LB's and no DE's. The secondary wasn't great - they let James Pierre get away - to us, and I never imagined Lattimore could be so awful.
    So maybe he gets an asterisk..

    I do like his time in GB and maybe that's a good thing.

    There is that chance with cignetti and whitt taking on some of the year coaches mundane tasks McCarthy will have more time to concentrate on the offense. :shrug::cool:

    They fired him. Demoted him around week 8, he finished the season pretty much in the club box seats

    Shocking! An NFL coach who flamed out gets hired by his buddy the next time he gets a job? NO WAY!!! What???? That never happens.

    The best job security in the world is to be known as a "former NFL coach" -- gets you lifetime club access and a rotating series of jobs working for your friends.
