Quote:I don't know that its too different. The scheme the Seahawks ran were created by Pete/Gus to fit what they had. How much of it was on Pete and how much of it was on Gus, we don't know. They may be all-pro players now, but at the start with Gus most of these guys were 4th, 5th, and 6th round picks.

 

From a personality standpoint, they sound very similar.

 

  Correct me if I'm mistaken but with the Jaguars,  it seemed like even if some of the pieces didn't fit,   Gus Bradley wanted to stick with the Seattle Defensive system. 

 

  In terms of personality,  Gus Bradley seems like the more emotional type of coach.  Teryl Austin is more of a low key/ even keel coach,  in many ways similar to Jim Caldwell.  

 

  As for what i would be concerned about if in the position of a Jaguars fan if Teryl Austin became the team's HC,  other than him never being in that position,  only one thing comes to mind.   The last two seasons,  the Lions Defense got off to a slow start.   Austin admitted that he waited too long to make certain adjustments in 2015.    This season,  he acted sooner,  which led to the major Defensive turnaround in the 2nd QTR of the season,  that has continued through this point in time.   The final two regular season games in Dallas and vs. Green Bay will test Austin greatly.  Especially,  when combining the injuries at CB.   But to have a streak of 8 straight games in giving up 20 or less points,  w/o the overall talent of some of the top Defenses in the NFL,  is a terrific achievement.
