He wasn't bad. Did some smart things. I think his brother is much better. I think if he were hired, I think we'd have a better situation with picking our personnel then he had in Oakland and Cleveland.
One thing you have to remember about Cleveland was their defense was awful in 2009. They then had to rely on 2 rookies in Joe Haden (7 INT's this year) and TJ Ward to take over the secondary.
I think he was the first guy who figured out the Saints offense to a degree. He started to sort of spy a D-Linemen which would take away Brees' checkdowns and it worked brilliantly. The rest of the league followed suit.
There's other guys at D-C I would prefer, but I wouldn't have an issue with hiring the guy and I don't believe the son should pay for the sins of the father.
