Montgomery was a longtime DL coach (9 years) with the Packers. Spent last season with the Patriots but has 20 years as a defensive line coach
It's next season and I'm hopeful

They must have really been impressed with the Patriots in that week one loss.

I’m sure Golden had a say in this hire.

Hiring DL before DC is strange. Also know maybe they didn't have the most talent to work with, but also sure is strange hiring so many fired coaches from a back-to-back 4-13 team.

Golden was hired. I have no doubt he was involved in the decision.
Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!

He was at Oklahoma. Hell of a recruiter and players liked him a ton. He left Oklahoma for the Packers. He was pretty good but that was 10 years ago. Didn’t get along with Mike Stoops. He was one of many in that regard.

Strange, yet not unheard of for this organization.
Through 2024
Mike Brown Owner/GM record: 34 years 232-311-4 .419 winning pct.
Playoff Record: 5-9 .357 winning pct.
Zac Taylor coaching record: 6 years 46-52-1 .470 winning pct.
Playoff Record: 5-2 .714 winning pct.

Excited for this because I think we have some talent on the d-line!
I think Jackson will get some pressure from the nose, even on passing downs, which will leave Hill and the ends single blocked and cause a lot of disruption!
Excited for Jenkins too.
I'm liking our outlook for next season!

He definitely has his work cut out for him. Hopefully he can actually unlock Myles Murphy while also help Jenkins and Jackson develop.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

Golden is probably just a formality, at this point.
Montgomery had plenty of success in GB, to be fair. Just got kicked to the curb with Mayo.

He made a great point about how our linebackers developed under Golden.
They seem to have regressed since his departure.

Al Golden’s family never left Cincy I saw somewhere. This deal has been in the making you can bet. You can go to the college ranks or hire asst. DL coaches from other teams or coaches from fired staffs. I’d assume Golden signed off.
