#1) Any new upcoming coach would have had their former boss (DC) really involved in the planning and scheming.
#2) He wasn't the DC there, he was the HC. Some guys are just better coordinators. Oh, and is Phil Savage a guy that you think is a great GM? What did the Browns do prior to Crennel or this last year? Were they markedly better?
#3) Dumb. Who freaking cares? It is a stupid argument.
Now, to be honest, Crennel isn't my favorite DC. I don't particularly like his style of defense. He and Belichick run a more passive defense than I prefer. I like more of an attack style defense.
But, I think a team can be successful either way.
Crennel is easily one of the most qualified candidates on the market, and I think bashing the move just because he is from the Patriots four years ago is moronic.
