A lot of people just flip out because the guy they wanted didn't get hired. Or, they want someone like Kris Richard who wasn't going anywhere unless it was a head coaching job.
AFC contenders weren't going to let us interview their guys most likely; and even if so, Reid wasn't going to hand over half the team to a guy that's never done it before. Not right now, not with Patrick still on a rookie deal. If a guy flames the **** out in this situation, we waste this window entirely.
Yeah, he took a 'safe' option, one he knew, one he was comfortable with. Of course he ****ing did, you numbnuts. You don't take a huge risk right now when all you need is a respectable defense. You take a guy you know knows the ropes.
In stable situations, he's built solid to good defenses. In chaotic situations, he's had issues. This is a STABLE organization. He'll be fine.
I'd bet we're at least the #20 defense next year. That'll probably put us in the Super Bowl. And Rex Ryan will still be spouting bullshit on football talk shows.
