From what I hear, it sounds like Schiano is going to the Patriots to probably be their DC once theirs is hired away. His contract was up, so I think it was just a mutual non-renewal.
Grinch wanted to run a hybrid 3-3-5 defense and Day told him absolutely not, and you will have a co-coordinator, so Grinch started reaching out.
I really like the mix of experience and youth so far on the defense. Mattison does not excite me, but he likes to run a basic but stout defense that throws in exotic blitzes and line movement when he can.
I knew the rumors about Stud staying were probably true, he is a big time recruiter. While the coaches cover regions him and Larry Johnson are well known closers as the secondary recruiter for their position groups.
