I hope you are right. Norton would be a big upgrade.
But Jeffcoat has to start bringing in some texas talent or we need to replace him.
Now I like your thinking

If it is him we need to hope he is up for a promotion, he has never coordinated a defense, just coached LB's. What will he bring, run? Will he tailor his defense like a DC he has coached under, like the current Seahawks? Lots of questions with him.
I don't think there has been any indication anywhere that Norton is on our radar and vice versa. But I guess anything is possible. But I don't get the impression they have been holding off all this time to make the announcement. It sounds more like it has taken this long to find someone.
Early next week at the absolute latest I would think? It's already gotten into hilarious territory..

This is pure speculation.....but maybe Mike Nolan? The last thing from rivals that made it here indicated that MM had an interest in two NFL assistants.......Nolan knows he's not going to be retained in Atlanta, and is pursuing other opportunities (Sr. Defensive Assistant in Arizona.....that Arians is more interested in Dick Lebeau for). He lives in Denver in the offseason.....Could we be waiting to see what happens with him? He didn't have a great year with the Falcons last year, and wouldn't be much of a recruiter, and he'd probably only be here if this happens for a year or two....but I think hiring him would turn some heads, and he's got a pretty solid rep as a DC, and would probably bring a lot schematically. A longshot, but I think this is probably more realistic at this point than either of the names off the Seahawks staff-there's a very good chance that at least one is heading to ATL with Dan Quinn when he is formally announced after the Super Bowl, and I'd say the other has a pretty good shot at taking over the defense up there.

It was the lead story, out of 8 or 9, on their cover page and an hour later it's buried inside. Wake up bud - someone got nervous it might have a snowball effect. And here's defensive decommit #2, the next day. HCMM needs to come thru damn soon:

Starting to feel that way.
He's late to the party, let it go.
Supposedly there is some kind of media deal with RG before the hoops game but not sure that has anything to do with announcing the DC. It would be nice to get this over with. At this point no matter who they get, it is unlikely to have a positive or negative effect on recruiting for 2015 I would assume.
So now it is more about making sure they have enough time to figure out who their personnel is and begin to plan the defensive scheme with HCMM prior to the start of Spring.
Not to mention they still have to hire another assistant coach.
I wonder if dropping another coach is still in the cards? New guy may want something more from his ACs than a DT coach who doesn't recruit.
It's probably just more blind optimism on my part.
Also, siap, but did you all know there is a fake Mike Mac twitter account (@FauxMac2)? Some pretty funny stuff.

In light of another decommit and the newest unrealistic DC speculation, I would like to BUMP this.
:yeahthat:
Here's hoping we don't "cool" on any more of our recruits then.
don't tease me
There were academic issues with him. Adam called it "mutual".
FootballScoop finally commented on the DC job on their radio but it wasn't exactly good news or really much news at all. He seemed about as shocked as us on how long it's taken and commented that it "wasn't going well", not sure if that was based on info or just an assumption. He also said "maybe maybe maybe they're waiting on Pendergast". (he sounded really unsure, wouldn't think much of it). He commented that making an assistant hire from within the Pac-12 would be a huge splash and we'd be crazy to hire outside of the Pac-12.
So yeah, pretty much nothing.
