Gunther can be a competent D-coordinator again if not saddled by this garbage Cover-Who defense.
It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out. My bet is that he performs admirably and it shows to be a damning indictment of both Herm Edwards and this stupid defense he runs. |

I think he's an average to slightly above average D-coordinator when put in a situation where he can shape his defense (and not try to contort it to the whims of a !@#$tard head coach). |

I'm stunned actually. Only thing I can think of is what I mentioned earlier -- that Schwartz knows that all Gun is good for is motivating the players, and that Schwartz himself will be the brains behind the operation. Like when Marty and Gun were here. |

But it takes a special type of talent to be the man who ultimately oversees a defense, which has been the focal point of FA dollars and day-one draft picks, that records 10 sacks. Total. For the mother****ing season. |

This is nepotism, nothing else. The good ol' boy network at its finest. Once you get into the league, you coach for life. |

And remember, Gun was out there throwing Vermeil under the bus and saying how it was great to be coaching for Herm, and went out and even got himself some new assistants to work with. He still sucked. The only way Gun can be successful is if someone tough like Fischer or Marty hands him an already molded D and tells him to go call plays with those guys. Most coaches would be successful with the James Hasty's and the DT's and the Neil Smiths of the world. The issue comes in two, three years into his tenure, where the players start losing their discipline and accountability and he brings in misidentified talent because he thinks he can mold anyone into a football player. Chester McGlockton was all Gun convincing Marty and Carl that he could light a fire under Chet's butt. At the end of the day, Gun sucks... |
