I met him before he became DC in Philly and he is a rock solid guy. Not too busy to talk to some fans at training camp. He was talking with us, while shouting at his players about 200 feet away to get the play right and make him look good. (sarcastically, PFT commenters can’t read sarcasm I think)

Super nice guy, players loved him. Great coach, he did a decent job with that defense and I could always see why Andy hired him for that role. He has a little bit of JJ in him.

Juan is a class act and lives what he preaches – hard work and perseverance leads to success. He pestered Ray Rhoades and Gruden until they hired him. He drove to Green Bay and slept in his car to ask Andy for a job. He worked with his offensive lineman before and after practices. And I’m sure he’ll give everything he’s got to make the running game better in Baltimore. I hope he does get a ring.

Sooooo…no one complaining about this like they did about the Pats adding McDaniels during the playoffs last year? Interesting.

Other opportunities? I hear Andy Reid wanted to hire him to run the defense, be GM, and color analyst on the hometown broadcast simultaneously.

Poor Guy. He just wants to become invisible again, and leave the heavy lifting for the big boys.

Both those guys are class acts.

Moving Juan Castillo to Defensive Coordinator after 10 years as O-Line coach was the straw that broke the camel’s back and ultimately led to Andy Reid’s firing. That move set the Eagles back years, and I still can’t believe that Reid made the move and actually thought that it would be successful, and I still can’t believe that Jeffrey Lurie allowed him to to do it. I am so glad that Reid will be performing his Mad Scientist experiments somewhere besides Philly for now on.

I’m happy to hear that Harbaugh gave him Juan more chance.

He lost for the HC job at UTEP, so he had to pursue NFL opps.

Not sure if you were being serious, but I would hardly consider Castillo qualified to get a ring for a little over a week’s work.

I would hope if they would offer him one, he would say “no thanks, I rather earn one next year”.

Glad Juanita discovered his backbone and didn’t chase Andy to KC after the way he was treated in PHI.
