and a 2 ranked defense. 4 ranked 11. And after his first year ranked at 16, only twice had a defense ranked below 13....which were the 2 bad defenses I mentioned. Pretty consistent.

Gibbs wasn't an egomaniac like Shanny. For some reason I feel Mike doesn't want a competent Defensive coach on the staff because he doens't want the competion. Looking at his DCs none of them were barn burners. I wouldn't be surprised if he replaced Haslett with another jabroni DC.
