I hate Bob Sutton, and I think he should have retired after the loss to Tennessee in the playoffs. But, if Jones doesn't get called for roughing the passer for hitting Brady's shoulder pads, or Ford doesn't line up offsides, Sutton probably has a SB ring as a DC.
If we win SB 53, Sutton returns, and we could have still won SB 54.
My main point though, is that I don't understand the love that Spags gets, because he has not been any better than Sutton. The only difference is he played the Titans in the AFC Championship game instead of Brady.

Context matters though. Sutton hit his ceiling in '16 he needed to go. Same thing happened to Spags before and will probably happen again. Sometimes coaches just flame out after awhile schemes get figured out, the message no longer resonates, etc.
Hard to argue with a championship, another super bowl, and 4 AFC title games since he was hired. It was the right call
