The above means Aden Durde (former DL coach here and currently the DC for Mike MacDoanld's Seahawks) could interview tomorrow and Jim Leonard could be interviewed Wednesday.

Nice start to the day for all of us.

Sounds like Schottenheimer was never really on board with hiring Eberflus to begin with.

Can't imagine any of Eberflus' people will be returning.

And shouldn't, honestly.

Several reports saying Schottenheimer drove the Eberflus firing and told Jerry no waiting.

I don't want Gannon. Before he was the Eagles DC (and Cards HC) he worked for Eberflus in Indy and Zimmer in Minnesota

and all of those defenses were really good so whats the problem?

dbair1967 · 2026-01-06T09:29:48-0600

Kudos to him if the reports are accurate. A few others are saying the same, that he basically told Jones he had to be fired now.

I don't recall the Colts defenses being "really" good, they were certainly better than what we fielded this yr (which is saying nothing) but "really good" seems like a stretch.

Zimmer's defenses were the Prescott of defensive numbers. Great against bad teams and horrible QB's, choked like hell in crunch times and big games.

And Gannon implemented his defense the last 3 yrs in Arizona, and the results were awful.

Scoring defense:

2023: 31st 2024: 15th 2025: 29th

Total defense:

2023: 25th 2024: 21st 2025: 27th
