Under the Radar...Ed Donatell
*********ITS OFFICIAL************
Buried under all the Super Bowl Hype was the offer made to Ed Donatell to stop the bleeding for the Purple and Gold Defense.
Buried under all the Super Bowl Hype was the offer made to Ed Donatell to stop the bleeding for the Purple and Gold Defense.Donatell is an interesting choice and a solid DC. I didnt realize that he was a Don James disciple...branching from the Dawgfather back in 81-82. You might have remembered him as the Packers defensive coordinator who was fired because his team gave up a 4th and 26 play to Philly in the Playoffs.
This is a coach who for many years has the reputation as being an aggressive, blitzing coach. He has a Super bowl Ring with Denver, and his last coaching job was with Atlanta, (With Jim Mora) where he moved their defensive ranking from 32nd....to 15th, then was fired alongside Mora.
This potential hire doesn't hold alot of glitz or flash...but its solid. This is a coach that has something to prove, and a team that needs a fresh outlook.

The Mora tie in is interesting... but the Times haven't confirmed that Donatell has accepted this job yet.
I specifically stated that they made an offer
Here's the good word from Bobby C:
On another matter, there is no official word today on new defensive coordinator Ed Donatell, but all indications are that it is a done deal and that an announcement should come any day.
UW coach Tyrone Willingham is said to be out of town recruiting (apparently in Hawaii) and an announcement may wait until he returns.
Can I volunteer to recruit in Hawaii? I hear there is a wealth of talent...
