Can't say I mind having both him and Spagnuolo out of the division, though.
That's what I liked about him. Very under publicized coordinator & didn't ever appear in any reports as a potential head coach. He was the ideal nfl coordinator & really did a great job of getting that D to step up every game.

I always thought that those good philly teams of the early to mid 2000s were relatively easy to move the ball on between the 30s, but once you got in their territory they locked down & brought serious pressure.

On a self-centered skins fan note: I hope this doesn't inspire their team to play over their heads.
