I've heard there is two ways of thinking;
1- is the team slowly transitions to whatever scheme the HC is looking to run, which might work or it might not.
Or
2- go all in and hope it works out. This method usually brings the learning curve across better and faster. I'm guessing this was the train of thought and with the thought AH would return and dominate the middle of the defense. Instead we got a disgruntled player acting like a little leager throwing a tantrum and refusing to participate. I'm also hedging a bet that they thought Kemo would be better then he was. But at this point they were already all in.
Haslett said to the media it took the Steelers about 3 yrs to be dominant after switching from the 4-3 to the 3-4. Next year the defense will be better with a few key pick ups and then yr 3 ..... SB. Plus don't think for a moment Haslett didn't tell MS this very thing. Coaches are meticulous so I'm sure they talked about it and decided the path they took.
