Former Patriots DC Dean Pees to Replace Nolan?

PrintNothing is concrete, and this is pure speculation. I think that the stars are aligned in a way where we can make the reasonable assumption that Dean Pees will reunite with Josh McDaniels in Denver, though I've come to expect the unexpected in the last year's time.
In light of Mike Nolan leaving, here is a quick "resume" if you will of former New England defensive coordinator Dean Pees, and what he brings to the table.
Born: September 4th, 1949 (60 years old)
Hometown: Dunkirk, Ohio
College: Bowling Green
Coaching experience: 31 years
1979-1982: Findlay Defensive Coordinator/Secondary coach
1983-1986: Miami (Ohio) Defensive Coordinator/Secondary coach
1987-1989: Navy Secondary coach
1990-1993: Toledo Defensive Coordinator
1994: Notre Dame Defensive Coordinator
1995-1997: Michigan State Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers coach
1998-2003: Kent State Head Coach
2004-2005: New England Patriots Linebackers coach
2006-2009: New England Patriots Defensive Coordinator
2010- : Broncos Defensive Coordinator?
Obviously Pees has a pretty impressive resume when it comes to coaching. He has been around the block and back, and I can't remember a bad Patriots defense in the last five or six years, so obviously he's done a good job.
Mike Nolan did a nice job calling the defensive plays this year, but here's to hoping he won't be missed. Good luck to Coach Nolan with the Dolphins or whoever he decides to go with.
Some added notes of interest:
- Pees can play the piano well and has recorded one album The Other Side. Why is this interesting? His wife Melody (how apt), who is an ordained minister, presided over the wedding of (R)FA-to-be Logan Mankins, and Pees composed Mankins wedding music. A close connection that may come in handy?
- He personally tutored Steelers All-Star LB James Harrison, while Harrison was at Kent State from 1999-2001:“He had an open mind with me, and didn’t worry about any of the things I did previous to being there. Once I got there, it was ‘I don’t care about what you’ve done in the past, it’s about right now, and going to judge you from here on out.’ That really helped me,” said Harrison. Asked one thing that stands out from what Pees taught him, Harrison said: “Be accountable for what you do and take responsibility.”
- Health concerns, including a recent bout with prostate cancer, a blood clot in his leg and lung spasms which felt like a heart attack, seem to be what prompted him not to re-up with the Pat's organization earlier in the offseason. I wonder if altitude is the best thing for him right now? It is probably better than NE weather at least...
- Some stats from his Pat's bio: Pees: 11-5 record despite using 22 different starters on defense, including four rookies. The Patriots have averaged less than 20 points per game allowed in every season that Pees has been defensive coordinator. In 2008, the Patriots allowed 19.3 points per game and achieved an 11-5 record despite using 22 different starters on defense, including four rookies. Pees’ 2008 defense ranked second in the NFL in forced three-and-out percentage (30.6) and helped give the offense the second best average starting field position in the NFL.

He obviously got a good relationship with the McDaniels
He was Ben McDaniels head coach at Kent State according to Ben’s Bio, which was pre-patriots days.
Looks good enough to support to me
Does anybody know about his demeanor?
is he a calm guy of is he bombastic and full of pees and vinegar?
I'm not sure. I'd guess that he's a relatively peesful guy. He's around Belichick, so that kind of peesful personality seems to permeate like a pees of rotton cheese in a room.

stable franchises instead of staple … nevertheless, the whole nature of college and professional sports is more unstable than it was even a decade ago. The movement of players, coaches, owners and even fan interest is much more fluid than before. It is like a revolving door … but, as i read the posts, many are saying it is the door that is causing all the problem when it just might be the ones going through it are equally at fault.
McD + Pees
With Pees as d coordinator and MCD as offensive coordinator the Patriots went 18-0. This move can’t be that bad, can it?

who was the HC QB WR etc... there?
and why was Nolan our future last year but not now?
I’m just sayin
Pees seems fine I guess. I’d rather have Zimmer or a name guy like him that McD wouldn’t have to worry about…he’s got his hands full after all. Or maybe a young genius looking for a shot?

not to mention an offense that put up 44 every game,
I don’t remember their defense being the one that got them thre
11-5
with Matt Cassel as QB. Defenses routinely in the top ten. Yes, he must suck…
plus...
if talent makes ANY dc look good…then who cares who we get. Lets just upgrade the talent. Therefore, this entire post is pointless.
Good point!
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!
No..Im not a conspiracy theorist!
But…If you ask me, Im not so sure that this move was initiated by McD! Pees declines to re-up w/Patriots. Weis and Crennel go to KC. Josh very unhappy about defensive collapse and wants to get “HIS” guy that he worked with and whom he and his family has known for years and is from Ohio. Hmmm….I wonder!
The article from the Post says this “Clears the way for Pees” and “Nolan will likely interview with Dolphins”. Is this Josh creating a mutual parting and then agreeing to buy him out. Pees is virtually in before Nolan’s even interviewed with any team.
"Attitude reflects Leadership" Hogblog...aka KSM
Maybe "clears the way" is just a phrase of words.
How else is that supposed to be written? Now, Pees is able to be Denver’s DC because Nolan doesn’t hold that position? It’s a statement of fact. Pees is able to fill a position that is not being held. That’s all it means.
If there is more to it, we’ll find out shortly, I’m sure.

While we're spinning the story
I had the following thought on this last offseason, and it’s a bit out there, but there may be some merit to it.
As soon as Nolan was hired, I knew it wouldn’t last forever, since he had just been a head coach. Either he needed to rejuvinate his career and this was one of few gigs available, or…
Just maybe, the reason Nolan came to Denver was because he thought McD may be so in over his head, being too young, inexperienced, etc., that it would only be a matter of time before Pat Bowlen replaces McD with him. Perhaps, there’s a small chance, that Nolan realized that was not going to happen.
"All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses." Friedrich Nietzsche
Pure speculation on my part
but I’m guessing maybe Nolan intended to take our DC job for one year just to get a little perspective. As Shanahan said, when you’re an HC it’s hard to find time to really look around and see what other teams are up to, other than the ones on your schedule. Maybe he was just buying some time in an environment that couldn’t have been in more dire straits, figuring anything he could do would only improve things here.
I’m really really sad to see him go. He’s been nothing but positive from day one, and I loved that he had Broncos history in his veins. Whoever gets him will be fortunate.

I'll miss him too
I was aware as soon as he was hired that he wouldn’t stay in Denver for 5 years. The demand in the league for his services and new opportunities were at some point going to have him packing.
I’m just a bit surprised that it happened after only 1 year.

Yes
We’re not the only New England west, unless you want to refer to KC as New England Mid-West.

added some little notes to Sayre's post
I like that he has a great relationship with Logan mankins, but the RFA status may limit how useful that is. He is also another link to players like Seymour and Wilfork, in case we are interested…..
Of additional note is that Jack Williams is a Kent State alum, and may garner interest in being brought back for camp, which could be a pretty solid move just to be safe….

I think Pees would be our best shot
Not a lot of other good D coordinators out there…….at least i don’t think there are?
Very small chance
that the Packers would part ways with Dom Capers, or the other way around. Although it wasn’t a bad thought earlier.
"All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses." Friedrich Nietzsche
They couldn't stop the Cards
Which was the only reason I had that thought about Capers, his NE connection to McD, etc.
"All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses." Friedrich Nietzsche
True...but
Do we know that McD didnt initiate this move as Pees declined his contract renewal w/Patriots? Oh, Weis and Crennel were just a reference back to the open door policy of AFC E to AFC W that seems to be in vogue with all the now displaced patriots. Patriots now all coming home to roost.
"Attitude reflects Leadership" Hogblog...aka KSM
and...
The emergence of Pees could bring with it a few patriots that are entering FA….think about it? There’s just too much in common with McD and Pees
"Attitude reflects Leadership" Hogblog...aka KSM
basically Pees is as good as hired!
How did that happen so quickly especially when we havent even replaced Turner/Dennison. The hiring process seems very slow. Im beginning to think that this is what’s been holding up the replacement filling left by our Offensive coaches….

Hmmm
I have gone from “Oh F***” to “Hey, this might work.”
I like the long track record and even though others have had issues with this fact, I like that he worked in New England. IF Pees is the new DC.
Now, if he is not, then I wonder who else is out there. Most important thought is consistency in the Defensive system. Anyone know some of the people on staffs with similar systems who might be ready to become a DC?
I'm telling ya'...This opens new avenues of players and scheme.
Maybe he can get DJ’s head screwed right and maybe, just maybe, our defensive line plays better on the running plays.
See, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel...

Everyone notice how quickly the tone has changed in here????
It’s gone from OMFG, to “Ya know, this could really be good”!!!!!! That’s just how we roll, we can find good almost anywhere…except for losing to Raiders and Chiefs…UGH!

To my knowledge, Pees hasn't lost to the chiefs or raiders.
We are on the right track.

The health issue is a bit perplexing
If in fact he didn’t re-up with the Patriots due to health concerns, could he truly feel better about re-entering the fray of the NFL this soon?
peerplexing indeed
on the real though, the health concerns seem numerous and very serious. If we’re going young and cutting edge…. let’s go find a wonderkind.

Off topic...
But the folks on the Dolphins blog really don’t seem to like McD, if you know what I mean.
Weird that they hate our coach so much… but then I remembered he used to be in their division, so it makes sense.

If this is true, I sort of like it.
I think Mike Nolan deserves a lot of credit for turning this defense into potentially good (key word on potentially) but I also think he was slightly overrated coming in. People forget that he wasn’t the mastermind behind that famed Ravens Super Bowl winning defense.
That being said, Pees makes a lot of sense if he’s the guy. The Patriots defense has been a lot better than it’s talent in recent years and while you can attribute that to Belichek all you want, Pees had to be a part of it.
Also, it’s interesting to note that Pees served as DC under both of McDaniel’s mentors. Not only under Belichek in New England, but under Saban at Michigan State. I think that he will require us to get stouter upfront, but aside from age, I don’t mind this at all.
Three years as a DC. Well… sounds better than Slowik anyway. Can’t be worse than Bates either.
I wish McDaniels could move on from his Pats comfort zone. But he is stuck deep in his Pat roots and he is not ready to step out on his own just yet.
Will our D ever stop playing musical coordinator?
When are we getting rid of that joker named Prieffer?
I'm so angry at the Broncos right now.
I wish we would've nabbed Bobby April from the Bills
I will never forgive Priefer for that fake punt for a TD the Redskins got on us…
Well
Starting to sound like Nolan wanted to head back East, he and McD parted amicably, nobody was fired, let go or forced out. If this is true, a lot of people will have pulled all their hair out for nothing.
Don't argue with fools. It's how they reproduce.

Visualize Whirrled Pees
After stepping back and looking at Nolan’s departure I’m not too surprised. When he was hired I wondered how an older, former head coach would work with a first year young head coach. I know how it goes in the business world outside of sports. It’s very difficult and sports is big business. I thought as many back when Nolan was hired, if McD does not work out then Nolan could step in or that Nolan could possibly do some mentoring of his own. The fan reaction has brought out all the McD/Bowlen haters and its like the Cutler/McD hiring cauldron all over again. ESPN and another site have suggested Nolan has been wanting to get back to the East Coast. If this is true then his departure makes sense, especially given where he ended up. McD is being accused by some of firing Nolan, driving him off, or scapegoating him for the defense melt down in the second half of the season. To date I have not read or heard anything factual that suggests this. Nolan’s quick hiring does strongly suggest a deal was in the works well in advance of his departure. Just like with McDs arrival and Cutlers departure some fans are already piling on the final demise of the Broncos train. A lot of pieces need to be put in place quick from a coaching standpoint, some before the upcoming draft and free agency. I cannot deny I am not unsettled by the many changes but change comes eventually, forced or willfully. My sense is Bowlen will not go beyond one more year with things being unsettled and a revolving door of departures. Right now I have cautious optimism.

Here's the thing
The same folks on this site that would say players under contract should shut up and just play need to apply the same logic to the coaches. Mike Nolan was under contract for another year. He should honor that contract out and leave next year.
Another Thought
In theory I agree about a contract being a contract and honoring it. But do you want someone on your team, on your side who wants out for whatever reason. In other words, will they give 100% for the team, will they be a team player?

I understand what you are saying
But you would like to think that coaches especially will approach their job with a certain amount of professionalism that maybe a younger, possibly immature athlete might not. I think in this case if Nolan decided to not give it his best because he wanted to get out of dodge then the results would show (next year) and he wouldn’t be up for the same position a year from now.
you would like to think that
but you’d be fooling yourself. Talent goes where talent wants to go… coach or player.
I think in this case if Nolan decided to not give it his best because he wanted to get out of dodge then the results would show (next year) and he wouldn’t be up for the same position a year from now.
But is that what you’d want to happen? A lackluster performance because Nolan doesn’t want to be here and THEN he can go? That’s GROSS mismanagement.
I'm glad we had this talk.

How do we know that it was Nolan who wanted out?
Maybe McDaniels broke up with him.
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 don't
But if it was McDaniels that broke up with him it certainly makes no sense. As this point the Broncos need some contuinity on the defensive side. Consistently changing coordinators is probably the least effective way to build a good defense.
You probably get this a lot. This isn't the real Caesar's Palace is it?....Did Caesar live here?
Consistently changing coordinators is probably the least effective way to build a good defense.
The least effective way to build something is to recognize a problem an put off dealing with it due to fear of what the public backlash might be.

Good point but . . .
That is a good point. But I suspect this whole Nolan thing is more complex than any one given reason for his departure and there was motivation for Nolan to leave now, i.e. Miami. Let’s not forget who is running the behind the scenes show at Miami, Bill Parcells. As unfortunate as it is, breaking contracts is commonplace these days, doesn’t justify it but in sports its happening more frequently.
Figuratively Speaking... I'd like to see Dean Pees' Medical report... It's not like I'm asking for his Birth Certificate to see if he's a Natural Born Citizen or anything like that...
Perhaps our Mastermind Coach made a few personal calls to Coach Pees during the 2-8 half of our season and planted some seeds of a way out of NE???
“Yeah you know, say that you have medical concerns and are not able to Coach?” Just a thought. Who knows he maybe even heal up and feel more re-freshed in that Mile High Clean Air if he truly does have some health concerns. Blood clots can be controlled if your blood thining meds are taken consistently. So I’ve heard…
