After this offseason he should have some good pieces to work with and could bring a new more aggressive culture to the defense.

 

I think he's the most overrated coordinator in the league and that's saying something since not many people think he's all that great.

 

Assuming we wouldn't go in house for our coordinator, I'd much rather look at some good coaches on existing staffs who may be out of a job soon. Spagnuolo (NYG) if Coughlin "retires" at the end of the season and Teryl Austin (DET) if Caldwell is let go and he doesn't get a head coaching job. If they wanted to really switch things up, Ray Horton (TEN) could also be an interesting one since his scheme is almost the opposite of ours in that it's a 3-4 that functions like a 4-3. Pettine could also be someone to look at since he was a DC in both New York and Buffalo before getting a head coaching opportunity. Jim Schwartz and Mike Smith are both sitting at home right now too, though I think both are waiting/hoping for head coaching opportunities.
