FWIW, regarding Defensive Coordinator - New England Patriots Forums

A poster (with no reputation good or bad) on another board claims that Dean Pees will be named DC by the end of the day. I guess we'll see.

I was just about to post that info hear, and the guy says that someone in the Jets organization told him about it. Go Figure?

What's the rush? It took BB awhile last year to name Mangini (golf tournament). I don't see him doing it the day after/of losing the last one. I could be wrong but I give it at least until the end of the week if not later. Especially an in-house guy, if it's a guy like Bates whose out there for HC jobs then I could see the quick announcement but again not an in-house one.

Let's just say I'm close with someone who works for the Jets and leave it at that so I don't get anyone into trouble. I am 100 percent sure Dean Pees is the new DC and by day's end it will be made public. Sorry for trying to get the word out but I can't under any circumstance say who my friend is or it could get that person into trouble. Trust me though, this info is rock solid. Like I said, let's wait and see. I don't think that's asking too much.

Again FWIW, just passing along information.

Could it be because Dean's contract might have expired or about to?
It sounds kind of fast to me also, but BB works in mysterious ways.

Keeping in mind this is total speculation still . . .

I still think Pees' contract expires now and Saban might come after him again as DC as he's supposedly going to make staff changes. Not sure if he's looking to change his DC but it could be now or never for Belichick to select Pees.

Well if this person is right, we'll find out sooner than later.

Can't wait long these days... hell, Saban, Crennel, or Mangini could hire these guys too.

It sounds pretty legit to me. He isn't bragging or being a jerk about it. According to him one of his buddies works for the Jets and told him right after they announce Mangini as their new coach, the Patriots are going to name Pees as his replacement and the Jets aren't very happy about it. You can kind of tell by a person's tone if he's full of BS but this poster has been nice, even when people were bashing him at first saying he was a liar and full of crap. Plus, can't we all see Bill naming a new DC right after the Jets name a head coach just to piss them off? I mean, it does make sense if you think about it.
