I'm not an expert but I have always thought the defensive was better suited to play in a 4/3.

4/3 is definitely more plug and play and easier to find personnel from the draft.
A well built 3/4 that is clicking is a tough defense to face because the players in pass protection are never 100% sure where the pressure is coming from and the half second it takes to read and react gives the rushers a leg up.
Shanny switched to a 3/4 which required completely new personnel and did not invest on the defensive side of the ball in the draft. The cap hit hurt too.
Jarvis Jenkins was our defensive line draft pick? What did everyone expect?
I believe converting back to 4/3 is easier.
Also, because of the reality of injuries keeping players sidelined and availability through the draft having 2 types of players, (ends and tackles) makes more sense than having 3 types (nose, ends, and olb)
