It bothers me even more that he went on to say that "no one coach" is to blame. I read this as an indirect defense of Haslett.



The way I see it, if the whole damn defense can't figure out their assignments, then there is indeed one coach to blame and that coach is the DC. If the defense continues to look clueless and the DC is not replaced, then there will be another coach to blame, the HC.

What is he supposed to do throw his DC under the bus? Even if it was primarily his fault they lost the game, you win as a team and you lose as a team. I think everyone in the world knows Haz is on his last leg. Gruden didnt need to say it, nor should he have.
