Wash is going to get a HC job because his resume will say #1 defense two years in a row. The stats will back it up. Would you want Wash as your HC? That would suggest he is the main reason the defense is performing well, not the other way around. I don't know if he'd be successful with a group of average talent and elevate their play to above average. That's really all I'm saying saying. I think it's the players making him look good, not the other way around.

Yeah, you really are bashing Wash's ability as a coordinator as much as you want to deny it. 

Whatever.  Maybe he's as lame as you think he is. I don't think he is. 

I couldn't care less about him being a head coach coming off of his success here as long as we land a quality replacement for him. 
My attitude on that is "good for him."   
I have absolutely no idea if he'll be a good head coach or not.

our own players, on multiple occasions, have complained or called into question his coordinating, thats a fact that should be taken seriously

What happened with that type of stuff? No more?

I've seen at least 8 DB blitzes from Hayden, Church or Gipson this season.  They've also sent Telvin and Jack at times. 

I've also seen the safeties completely switch roles at the snap or radically change the coverage they are showing pre snap many times. 

Am I just the only one seeing this stuff?

Edit: Skimming through some defensive plays for blitzes and such and I'll list them here. A running list as I don't have time to skim every game right now.

3rd quarter vs Giants :  Gipson DB blitz on first down
A few plays later:  Telvin blitzes up the middle
A few plays later:  They send five with Jack attempting to free Yannick on an inside stunt
1 min left in third:  They send five again - Jacobs the extra man this time
-- I'll stop there for that game as they are getting good pressure with four and did in fact play a decent amount of man coverage --

New England:
1st Q 13.30 - Sent 5 (Jack)
1st Q 0:32    - DB blitz (Harrison)
2nd Q 8;32  - DB blitz (Church)
3rdQ 4:50  - DB blitz (Hayden)
4thQ  14:54  5 man blitz (Telvin)

More on Thursday...

no one said we never blitz, its how we blitz that's the problem.. go watch defenses of the past like the ravens and steelers when they were good and see the things they were doing

we were the lowest blitz % in the league last year, though understandable last year with our pressure we got with 4
