I might be wrong, but I don't think a single coordinator that in his first year with a new team was in the bottom 5 defenses and ever proved that it was a fluke, that they could later consistently put up good defenses.

Consistancy is good, being consistantly bad/mediocre is not. There is no reason to keep around someone who can't do a good job.

That was a case where the stats really did lie. That top 10 D never made a big stop with the game on the line, had take aways, or won a game when needed. They put up good numbers but those nembers never translated into anything meaningful.
