A day or two ago I saw a rumor of the hawks secondary coach who is also the passing game coordinator. But that's the only thing I've seen recently

Jim Schwartz would be my choice.If anyone could convince Crosby to stay it would be Schwartz with his wide 9 defense. It fits Crosby perfectly.

That's the problem, you don't hire a coach to convince a player to stay or to satisfy a player

There was a tweet posted from a satire account. I haven’t seen that anywhere else.

As Raidernation79 pointed out, it’s likely a parody account.

I'm pretty sure that with a name like Dick Johnson, it's legit.

The Seattle punters last name is Dickson.

If Boomer still did his thing and gave people nicknames, he could be, Micheal "Touch My" Dickson.

I don’t think anybody will ever in the history of football do highlights as well as Berman did.

Found this on Reddit. Nothing legit. No source mentioned. As usual it’s league executives.

"Multiple NFL executives whose teams have been engaged in hiring new coaching staffs indicated that Schwartz is thought of very highly by the Raiders and rookie head coach Klint Kubiak, and they expect that's where the well-regarded defensive play caller will land. Sources have told SportsBoom that Schwartz is more than open to helping Brady and Kubiak rebuild that unit after Pete Carroll failed in one year there as head coach (and defensive mastermind)."

That would be best case scenario
