Is he better than Bradley? Sure. Is that saying much? Not really. Need fresh blood here soon in 2020. Strong minds. Modern thinkers. Guys that adapt to the game.

This! We need coordinators and coaches who have been schooled in multiple systems so they can game plan and make in-game adjustments from a broader knowledge base. You see that in the great coaches, like Bellicheat. He has some core beliefs (like big linebackers) but his core philosophy is that of a chameleon, taking on whatever form is necessary to win the game at hand. 

Wash is a stubborn clone of a Pete Carroll clone. The adjustments he makes emanate from a vanilla scheme that's predicated on having elite players at all three levels winning one-on-ones. This defense has not had that since 2017. 

I'm OK with Flip. Marrone's replacement might consider keeping him for continuity to develop Minshew, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if we got someone else.
