But they kept working, and by the end of the season they were a top-10 unit. that beat the best offense in NFL history. They allowed just two TDs in that SB.
Look at the STL defense when he got there. 30th, iirc. The following season, top 12.
Then he goes back to NYG, after one season with NOR, and takes that bottom third defense and makes them a top-third defense.
And so on.
I'm not saying he's the greatest ever, because he obviously has some flaws, but to say he isn't a top 10 DC is kind of ignorant. History is pretty clear about that.

Before Spags got to NY: 24th in yards and 7th in points
Year after: 17th in yards and 7th in points
Similar to Sutton's improvement when he joined the chiefs. I will say Spags is A LOT better in the postseason which is what matters.
And, you need to check your numbers on the Rams. They got worse after Spags joined.
