Guys that think Blache sucks so bad...read this and compare to Haslett.
I know he rubbed people wrong this year...but the guy does not suck...
I mentioned on another thread that there are only 9 active defensive coordinators with teams that rank better...Zimmer was one of them...."statistically"
Haslett doesn't seem to match up to Blache.
I sure hope past perfomance is not an indicator of future performance.
If it is...this defense should rank around 15 or so.
Gray's record was good but declined over the years...I wasn't sold on him either...especially due to his coaching performance of the secondary...he certainly does not deserve a promotion based on the secondary's decline in performance.
It is possible that Haslett will improve the D a bit...but not likely...to me, this is just swaping a d coordinator for new blood's sake...no one can reasonably argue that this hire was an upgrade...Crennel or Zimmer could be argued....but that is it.
