I agree Mitchell should have strictly been an OLB and that playing with Tuck/Strahan/etc makes him look better but he is above average MLB, Mitchell is a speed/strength freak and has good awareness IMO. His improvement is more than being surrounded with better players, coaching has got to be a factor. When you can't get guys to perform and they go elsewhere and perform then there is a coaching problem.
Is the coaching problem x's and o's? Perhaps.
Is the coaching problem being too strict or too leniant, or handling certain players the wrong way, showing preference to certain players, locker room problems? Perhaps.
Could be anything but clearly coaching can't be dismissed here.
