And what "proof otherwise" do you have?
That he played poorly because he was being used incorrectly - something that happened to several players during Herm's time here?
Hiring dipshit defensive coordinator after dipshit defensive coordinator is the bigger issue here.

Bad being better than worse still doesn't equal good. Don't you think hiding Pollard in a defense with their front, and Ryans and Cushing makes him look better than he actually is?
Kawika Mitchell and Nap Harris led the Chiefs in tackles in consecutive years. Does that make them magically good? I didn't think so. We're crying over garbage players here, and while the defensive coaching leaves something to be desired, it's pretty much a fact that the players themselves suck.
Pollard being played in a cover who, or 3/4 doesn't take away from the fact that he is a terrible tackler, who lost contain all the time, and is slower than shit. Just because Mike Brown is slower doesn't make Pollard fast. It probably was a mistake cutting him for Brown, but the difference is VERY subtle.
