Quote:The only record that matters is a defensive guru coach giving up an average of over 28 points per game (ranking 31st in the NFL) against the most pathetic collection of backup QBs and journeymen in NFL history.


 

It's easy to blame the personnel, but there were plenty of cases where the scheme itself was the problem. Several of those 30 teams with better results on defense had worse personnel, and didn't face such weak offenses.


 

And here's a list of the starters on defense who have improved (developed) under Gus and company (i.e. were better in December 2015 than they were when they arrived on the team):

 

 

...
 

Is it the only record that matters?

 

Bill O'Brien is an offensive head coach, yet the Texans were 21st in PPG. The Chargers have an offensive HC AND a veteran pro-bowl caliber QB, and they finished 26th in PPG.

 

We're heading into the season with potentially 6 new starters on defense (Fowler, Malik, Jack, Jalen, Gipson, Prince).

 

That should tell you what the GM thought of this personnel.
