Mike Nolan gone as DC in Denver.

According to Jay Glazer via Twitter, Mike Nolan and Josh McDaniels have decided to mutually part ways. What does this mean for our defense and the personnel Nolan's put together? Anyone have any input or insight on this? I really don't have anything else to say about this, except for the fact that this sucks. This really really sucks bad. Best of luck Mr. Nolan. I wish you the best of luck wherever you go.
Also, before everyone starts claiming McD is the antichrist for this, remember that we know nothing about it yet. NFL Network (Michael LombardI) made mention that Nolan eventually wants to be a HC again, which was highly unlikely in Denver anyways. There is always two sides to every story. Don't jump to quick judgements about anything because 9 times out of 10, the quick judgement is wrong.

This really does suck
I just saw that too and was about to post about it, but you beat me to the punch. Apparently it has to do with issues of control. My feeling is that McD wants to have his hand in the defense and Nolan wants to run the defense and has different views. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t there some issue about that (McD wanting to also have a say in the defense) at the beginning of the year or during preseason?
wow
suprising – maybe mcd wants a more traditional 3-4 style D.
well, question is…who’s out next DC????
who’s available?
Maybe
Ben McDaniels,Rob Ryan or Joe Collier?
Seriously,if it is true I’m sure coach has had someone else in mind for quite some time.

Made same post...
but deleted it when I saw yours. So where do we go from here? Three significant coaches gone.
From a DP Blog Post...
"I can’t say anything other than Josh and I mutually agreed to part ways," Nolan said.
Sounds contentious. Yikes. I don’t see how this could be a good thing.
this not seeing eye to eye with our young coach may be becoming a trend...
i sure hope McD’s right.
by Whidbey Bronco on Jan 18, 2010 4:48 PM MST up reply actions
what's probably happening
is that Nolan has a coaching opportunity that he can’t say anything about yet.
Maybe
he’s going to the Bills as HC?
-Harvey J. Neptune
"Practice doesn't make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect." - Vince Lombardi
OK. So McD is trying to take a Mulligan for 2009?
I’m going to go ahead and knee-jerk react and find out the facts later. I think the NFL does this crap on purpose to keep ratings up. “Hey, coaches. You must make at least 3 bone-headed surprise moves each season – preferrably in the off-season, so fans keep watching the Network after their team is out of contention. If you are good and do it for several years, we may let you by with a little less drama in your latter years as being a HC.”
-Harvey J. Neptune
"Practice doesn't make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect." - Vince Lombardi
Right. Consistency, shmonsistency.
We were pleasantly surprised last year. Who says we can’t be again? Oh, right. Only one good D in at least 5 seasons, with 4 new coordinators.
-Harvey J. Neptune
"Practice doesn't make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect." - Vince Lombardi
The only way this is a good move is if Dawkins
is going to be our D coordinator.
-Harvey J. Neptune
"Practice doesn't make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect." - Vince Lombardi
It was a mutual breakup, right... you know....
“It’s not you, Josh, it’s me. I just need some time to myself to sort some things out. I still wanna be friends, though….”
-Harvey J. Neptune
"Practice doesn't make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect." - Vince Lombardi
mcdaniels clearly has all the power
he runs the entire franchise.
one thing to consider is that nolan is a former head coach and he obviously has plans to be a future head coach, and im sure he wanted power over the entire defense so that if they were to tank, it would be his fault. last thing a guy wants on his resume when trying to get another head coaching job is a bad season where he couldnt control the entire outcome
as for the power issue, either mcdaniels is destined to be a great coach or he is going to set the organization way back. either way denver is his team, and at this point it’s safe to say it will be for the next 2-3 years at a minimum as well
lso, NFLN mentioned that Nolan wants to be a HC again, which wouldn’t happen in Denver. Don’t pin McD up on cross just yet.
yeah, let's see if he has an offer this year...
if not, it’s nonsense. He’d be better served kicking butt here and showcasing his skills if he’s trying to get another HC job.

Bowlen should have made McD earn all this power,
he would have come here still, it was by far the best coaching job ava. then, why give a kid the keys to a multi million dollar car. He’s stickin’ his head in all the parts of the engine and not all the of th engine obviously agrees. I don’t blame Nolan.
Well, we really don't know the story.......

This is really upsetting
Maybe McD really is a power mad kid, who is in over his head. I hope not, but this leaves me with a terrible feeling. I’m upset, gonna have to cool off for a while. See you guys in a few days.
It takes neither courage nor intelligence to cheer for a team only when that team wins. The true test of a fan's mettle is the same as it is for a player: Were you there when you were needed?

I think i found our new DC, no, seriously, what are the odds that this DOESNT happen?
Pats D Coordinator Dean Pees resigned last week with no known landing spot. Could Denver be in his future
Oh well
I’m not going to cry. Nolan is a hell of a coach. But as of now, he’s not wearing a Bronco’s jacket. Spilled milk….
feeling soooo good about the chargers choke i'm in a constructive mood.....
who’s out there that we might get…..or does McD gunna have TWO headsets now.? HAha
Okay, now this is devastating.......
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.
Why has nobody made a live-action game of Chutes and Ladders? I'd be first in line.
Ok, Ok
How many of you seriously thought Nolan was going to retire here? I don’t know of many times you can hire an ex-head coach as an assistant and expect him to stick around.
No, I thought he would likely become a HC again
But you would hope he would stay for two or three seasons to show he could transform a defense, maybe he will be a HC in Buffalo since no one seems to want to coach there.

Regardless of the eventual spin....
No way this helps the Broncos or makes them look any better to the outside world (if that matters)…Nolan clearly made a mark, improved a woeful squad, and this has to be viewed as a flat out, never saw it coming, surprise….there are few (if any) DCs on the market that would be considered an upgrade from Nolan, so no matter how you explain it away, the Broncos took a hit today…the only more surprising development would be if Orton walked away…and I think then we would know there is trouble in paradise….

Wow, that sucks
I really liked Nolan and thought he did some pretty good things with some marginal talent. I was really excited to see if he could of make the D better with some more talent.

Hate to
lose Nolan but I am hopeful Orton does walk away unless he takes a 1 or 2 year deal while McDaniels drafts his successor in the top 3 rounds of this year’s draft. Would love to know why Nolan left.
let the mud slinging and guessing and speculation begin!!
This isn’t that big of a deal in my opinion. Denver’s D had a new scheme this year and a bunch of new players too. Not sure which had more to do with the improvement over last year’s unit, but frankly, I didn’t think our D was that great. Better, not great though.
There’s a lot more to the story than we know, so let’s not assume McD’s on the warpath just yet. Who knows, maybe it was Nolan’s career aspiration,maybe a current or draft personnel quabble, a personal issue, or maybe it was a personality conflict.
I know this doesn’t make the Broncos look any ‘better’ to the outside world, but McD doesn’t give a chargers playoff game about how the organization ‘looks’.
would give anything,
to have been a fly on the wall when that conversation went down. I hate having this feeling that Josh is who we think he might be…power hungry. Really hope im wrong on this one, would be the best crow i’ve ever had. hate this feeling.
People tend to give McD excuses case-by-case...
but when top talent is constantly leaving or likely to leave, there is an issue (Cutler, Scheff, Marshall, Hillis, Nolan).

WTF
“Broncos and defensive coordinator Mike Nolan part ways. Nolan won’t wait long for work — Miami already planning to interview him.” – Adam Schefter
If this is a parallel move(DC) to another team then I’m smelling something fishy.
All we're trying to do is win a motherf**king game !!!
-McD
Could Oakland be in Nolan's Future?
Al Davis got a good long look at him when he was the head at San Fran. Then he moves into the division and impresses. Maybe Evil Al couldn’t resist any more and Tom Cable is out for sure
Doubtful
I think Al likes a guy he can control, Mike Nolan never struck me as that type of coach.

I have heard nothing like that out of Oakland
I live in Oakland and thought he papers are filled with the eventual funeral arrangements for the Cable regime, there has been nothing mentioned about Nolan (though there is some artillery that Davis would like to use….stealing a Bronco DC is likely attractive, and also putting in a coach who is essentialy descended from 49er royalty, so much the better….on the other hand, Nolan was overmatched as a head coach) Davis often surprises, but Jim Fassel has all but begged for the job and I would assume the job would go to him or Denny Green….
What if you don't know Jack....but Jack knows you?
The fact that it was mutual parting of the ways..
tells me that something went wrong. Why else do you need to make a statement such as this?

I expected some roster turnover and even for Nolan to leave,
just not THIS year. Does McD and along with anybody for a prolonged amount of time or does he eventually pi$$ everybody off.
this is what i'm wondering.
is mcD socially challenged? is he just a walking ego? i hope not, but upheaval has been his theme and no matter how many other people are at fault he seems to be in the eye of the hurricane constantly. it’s like lane kiffin is working here. … that is, unless we are to believe that mcD is always above the fray on everything.
Possible landing spots for Nolan:
Chicago as HC? Dallas – probably more of a stretch.

I can't
wait until the day McDaniels will be fired. There is too much turmoil surrounding him and he is overrated as as offensive genius and now one of the few good moves he made in Nolan is leaving. I hope we are looking for a new head coach this time next year. The only way McD doesn’t look bad with Nolan leaving is if he left for a head coaching job somewhere and Oakland is the only one left if Cable is fired.
So..... are you rooting for the Broncos to fail in 2010 so he'll be fired?

I'm potentially flipping sides here
Have had a lot of faith in McDaniels, but if this ends up as anything other than a purely professional move, I’m jumping ship to the McDaniels==drama queen side. Tired of off-field drama.
McD most likely to told Nolan to part his hair the other way,
Nolan said " I don’t think so son, I"m outta here". haahahah. sorry, to buzzed still from watching chargers choke. didn’t see any flags here in sd today. great stuff
Guru just reported it on the front page. It's official.

this is a laterall move and it smells like McD turmoil…..did they have to widen the door at dove valley for his head!
Can’t McDaniels go a week without some form of controversy?
I yearn for the days when the Broncos didn’t make the news every other day during the offseason.

I can’t believe how some of you think you can’t be true fan unless you agree that your team does but that is not how it works folks.

you can go back at some of these McD haters and almost all their post are anti McDaniels. they are all negative comments about the HC since he was hired. The truth is their are some people that have hated McDaniels from the start. They loved shanny and think JC is a franchise QB. How could McD trade a Franchise QB, he is running this team into the ground. I do not like this move either but we do not know the whole story and you automatically blame McDaniels and that tells me something. You do not like the man regardless of what he does

Go over to Johns Post on the Main page
and look at this. The Dolphins asked to interview Nolan to be their DC and Josh probably said NO. Nolan probably would prefer to work in Miami and talked to Mcdaniels today about stepping down. You need to let all the facts surface before you start blaming Mcdaniels.

Are you choosing to overlook Scheffter's reports that McD was speaking with Pees
before Pees chose to not renew his contract? Maybe this is all just serendipitous timing of Pees leaving the Pats and Nolan being requested for an interview.

How do you know McD was talking with Pees
Before the Fins requested to talke with Nolan. Schefter is not saying that on his twitter so i do not know where you are getting this. I read that pees did not renew because of his age and health. There could be a lot more to the story but it sounds like Nolan would rather coach out east then an Denver.

Actually, I have been tough on McD from the start....
but I do think Shanny’s time was up and I do think JC should have gone (although not at that time, I believe I was now wrong and McD was right on that.)…but I can still disagree with much that McD has done. So we don’t all long for the past, just a good future. I still think McD can get this going, but I have lost some confidence.

im a fan of the team, not the coach. I’m not calling for McD’s head, but if I was, I don’t think that makes me any less a fan.
The coach is part of the the team and the organization

no single component of the team IS the team though. If a certaon part of the team isn’t getting the job done, then they need to go. Like…Jarvis Moss, say. He’s not getting the job done on the field, making a lot of money, and eating cap space that could be better utilized on other, better players.
Am I bad fan for wanting Moss gone at this point? I would say no. I want my Broncos to do better, and I think they will without Moss. Again, I’m saying this is the case with McD (yet), but I can certainly see how some people might. And I don’t think that makes them less of fans.
It seems
that Pees and McD have been talking for awhile now while Nolan was still our DC according to Adam Schefter. Seems to me McDaniels stabbed Nolan in the back so Nolan is leaving for another DC job.
Right as I noted above :)

Right Scotty.
McD has caused so much turmoil in only one year on the job that he has cause diehard fans like me to question if he is the right man to lead our Broncos and I don’t think he is but I hope he proves me wrong. But I think and hope he has only 1 more year to prove me wrong. In other words next season should be do or die for McD.
Who knows if he caused this, at all?
Maybe Nolan wanted a change of scenery? I think we need to sit and wait for the rest of the story to come out before we jump to conclusions and say that McD forced him out.
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.
Why has nobody made a live-action game of Chutes and Ladders? I'd be first in line.

You are
right kentuckybronco and I hope McD turns out to be another Shanahan but I don’t see it happening but I can’t wait for the draft and free agency and next season to start and I will be rooting hard for the Broncos like I do every year.
Amen.
Let’s just get the guys we need and move on. Sure, things will be different without Nolan, but different doesn’t always mean worse. It just means different. We may get a new up and coming guy who is a genius and is going to shake up the world of football with his defensive coordinating prowess. Ya never know. Let’s just see how this shakes out.

By the way Joe,
if you could see all the Bronco stuff I have collected over the years you would never question me being a die hard Broncos fan. I just hate what has gone on with the Broncos since McD took over and if you think McD is above criticism we will have to agree to disagree on that.
I wasn't real thrilled ...
with what was going on before he was hired.
Good point Hank
but I still like our previous situation under Shanny compared to what we have now but I hope everything works out great.
Good post Skotty.
I wish McD would have denied the Dolphins permission. It seems like McD wanted another guy from NE as his DC no matter how good Nolan was.
And there could be a chicken and the egg scenario
Did Nolan know that McD was talking with Pees, before Miami came calling…it would be intereting to be sure

The defense took a nose dive in the second half of the season and I'm not buying fatigue.
Whatever the problem was my guess that McDaniels wasn’t very pleased with it. He listens to Brian Dawkins and Champ Bailey so maybe they came to the coach and laid it out on the line. Just guessing mind you, but there has to be a specific reason why. McD wouldn’t throw Nolan under the bus unless the is a real problem. I wasn’t pleased and neither was a lot of you.
Well, I am upset by this move
But I’m trying to say woo-sahh, and count and breathe. You suggest a very likely scenario. Yet even with that, what could Champ and Dawk have said that Nolan did? If they or McD have a finger on the issue, couldn’t it be fixed? If the system worked early but not later, doesn’t that mean it’s fixable easier than it’s replaceable?
I find it more likely that Nolan didn’t like young McD’s hands in his cookie jar any more than he liked the youngster yelling at him and telling him how to fix the late season decline.
If on the other hand, this is a case of Nolan going to be HC somewhere… I’ll be even more pissed that Coach let him go after only one year. I’d make the guy clean toilets before I’d let him leverage his single year here into a new coaching job.
Good luck with the Redskins Mr. Mike! I'll be watching and cheering for a non-Bronco team for the first time in my life. Well, except when they play the Broncos!
We'll be glad ...
to pass your thoughts on to your employer especially if a job offer comes to you that you like better than the one you have now. It could be that Nolan likes the beach better than the mountains and has absolutely nothing to do with McDaniels. My take is that this is not abnormal but simply a guy who is leaving one position to take another … and a guy that the media and fans elevated to a higher spot than maybe he should have been placed based on the first 6 games.
