Who's more prepared than us?
!NOBODY!
Does this mean they expect to lose Caldwell after this year?

He's always been defense. Possible future DC.

Apples and oranges, since Caldwell is offense and Spagnuolo is defense.

Unfortunately, though, I think we do lose Caldwell by February if not sooner.

As long as there's not too many cooks.

Does anybody really believe Steve Spagnuolo is just a Senior Defensive Assistant?? Clearly he's taking over some duties from Dean Pees!

But seriously, just another example of Harbaugh liking to get the best minds in football on the staff in whatever capacity he can.

Oh, hell yeah. Loved what he did when he was with the Giants. He was the architect that brought down the, 'Mighty' Patriots in the SB and ruined their perfect season, 18 - 1.

When he was the Saints? Hmmm...I'm chalking that up to him not having the right pieces to run his schemes.

So basically Dean Pees' former job description under Pagano. [edit: my bad. I see Pees was listed as a linebackers coach. For some reason I thought he had some odd job title like this]

**Shas** · 05-03-2013, 05:07 PM

Pees will be 64 when the season starts. Just saying. Of course, Spags and Harbs were on the same Eagles staff for eight years together. So this could also just be Harbs being kind to a friend and keeping him viable until a solid job comes along.

It is funny, to me at least, that Spags gets fired in NOLA and gets replaced by Rex's brother. What an incestuous league.
