Seattle had the leagues #1 ranked defense in 2013, so did people overrate Bradley?

Curious to see the responses here. 

 

When Bradley was hired (as HC of the Jags) , a few people cited that they would caution against giving Bradley too much credit for Seattle's defense's uprising, since the defense didn't really start getting good until Pete Carroll came aboard. 

 

This past year, without Bradley Seattle's defense didn't miss a beat, winding up ranked as the league's best with Dan Quinn being in his first season as Seattle's DC. Also this past year, the Jaguars defense gave up a franchise record amount of points. Not that I expected miracles for his first year here, but 450 points given up certainly wasn't an example of any "overachievement" by this D. 

 

Now, it seems like another team may be following in the same footsteps as we did, as Tennessee is reportedly very interested in interviewing Dan Quinn for its head coach opening. 

 

Could be monkey see-monkey do on the part of the Titans, and I for one would rather them go this route rather than hire someone with actual HC experience. I think Tennessee could be setting themselves up for a mistake with that hire, should it happen.
