Quote:I tend to agree. They posted a few videos of him drilling the DE's last summer and he exudes plenty of his own brand of toughness and enthusiasm.

I'm sure he and Bradley see eye to eye on many things concerning the defense, but I think he's his own guy.

I have NO idea if he'd be an upgrade at DC, but i'm not overly worried about him being a "yes man" any more than any candidate that agrees to run Bradley's scheme.

 

That's pretty much where i stand on Wash.  Seems like a decent enough coach, but is he an upgrade over what we had with Babich?  Color me skeptical. 

 

At the end of the day, you're right.  The guy who gets the job is running Gus' defense.  That's one reason I didn't think Schwartz was really a viable option unless Gus was truly going to hand him the keys to the defense.  Maybe he was willing to do so?  We'll never know.
