Personal life
Cullen was fired shortly after his hire at the University of Mississippi after being charged with drunk and disorderly conduct after passing out in a local Subway.[3]
Cullen was arrested in 2006 for driving under the influence as the defensive line coach of the Detroit Lions. In another incident, also during the 2006 pre-season, he was arrested after he drove through a Wendy's drive-thru naked.[4] He was fined $20,000 and suspended for one game by the NFL for "conduct detrimental to the league" and sentenced by a judge to 10 days of community service and to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.[5]

Because of something that happened 15 years ago?  This is your assessment?

He's had a couple of high profile jobs in the NFL since then, including his most recent stint in Baltimore.  

They ranked #2 overall in 2020 for defense.  #3 in 2019.  #2 in 2018.  #6 in 2017.  They've been top 10 in both passing and rushing defense over the past 3 years consistently.  Cullen's guys love to play for him.  

I know some here are excited about running a 3-4 defense.  Let's pump the brakes until we see what personnel he's going to be working with.  My guess is that we're going to be a much improved unit regardless of the scheme we run just because I think he'll be a tad more aggressive.

But hey, what do I know?  He's a drunk, right?
