Edge rushers under like 250-255 at a minimum are called 3-4 OLB'ers. Now, if you want to argue that a 3-4 base is a better idea than a 4-3, that's an entirely different argument.
There are fair criticisms; I think Spags is perhaps too loyal sometimes to individual players (Sorensen's and whatnot). I think sometimes in the past his coverage schemes were perhaps too complicated - although I think he's deliberately been less so this year with so many rookies and new players.
But this idea that the game has passed him by is stupid. Fangio is a ****ing dinosaur running cover two and cover four-which are literally like 1960's schemes and it's all the rage in the NFL-as long as you can rush the passer with 4. If you can't, then you'd best not even TRY to run it.

This is why I am less critical of the trade for Clark. We traded for and paid the Seahawks Clark. No way of knowing he would fall this far this fast. Had KC known this his contract would have most likely been structured differently. I still think they make the trade as he was huge in KC winning the SB and as the old saying goes “Flags fly forever”.
