Quote:Why the hate for Wash? If you're wildly lauding every move made under Coughlin and Marrone, why skip their decision to retain him?


Neither coach (guess Tom ain't coach now, but you know what I mean) had any prior connection to him, and thus far it seems with Tom & Doug prior historical success has been a focus.


Yet they kept the guy that neither of them are tied to, and doesn't have the obvious championship pedigree as most of the newly hired staff does...how does that not logically translate into them being very impressed with how he talks schemes and accountability behind closed doors?


If you celebrate Toms perspective/judgement in bringing in these great coaches, why on earth would you assume he didn't do due diligence in looking at the cat he's putting IN CHARGE of his impressive hires.


To me, if Wash was able to convince Tom and Doug that he's the man on D going forward, that's a good thing.


Maybe I'm just an idiot, I dunno. I'm five shots deep so take it for what it's worth. But I feel like if we're gonna have so much confidence in every other hire, perhaps Wash deserves the same window considering the guys in charge had NO motivation to retain him unless he impressed them with his ideas/work ethic/process. If we're gonna trust their judgement, then trust it.
