Carter 15 sacks and a rookie with 7 or 8, Marcus Washington with 7 or 8 and Rocky or a new FA with 7 or 8. Landry should be pro bowl every year so why not our Defense with the right coaching.
Are we worried no offensive leadership with Spags? Play calling?

We'll first off, putting up our line against Strahan, Uminyora, and Tuck is silly. Those are special players and there is a reason they are all-pros. Not saying we don't have good players, but they aren't that good...period.
The problem a lot of us have with Spags is the lack of HC experience combined with the fact that he is a defensive coach. While you don't HAVE to have experience to be successful in the NFL, how many first time head coaches make it into the playoffs, much less the superbowl? And further, how many that make it in their first year have terrible 2nd seasons? (The answer is a lot, Sean Payton, Mangini come to mind).
Experienced coaches have a much better track record than rookie coaches, so why saddle this team with an unproven commodity? As for the second issue, why bring in a defensive coach when you have a proven scheme, staff, and players already in place on defense? Spags will probably make a good coach in a couple years, I just don't see a great fit in Washington (now watch him get hired and win 12 games next year).
