The Rams were looking to trade Trent Green and the Ravens had minimal interest in keeping Priest Holmes. So Carl’s “achievement” was being a facilitator… congrats. |
It was a team effort, Vermeil stuck with Greg Robinson way too long. But even when that was done, Gunther was basically thrown on him which was always weird because he was the guy Vermeil replaced. I don't recall any other team ever doing something like that. And if you remember Gunther stuck around for Herm, then threw him right under the bus on the way out. Said everyone knew he wasn't a zone defense guy. Even with Herm's shortcomings, why stick him with a DC who hated Herm's defensive philosophy?
Really all of that comes back to Carl. Stayed way too long, didn't draft well enough and shoved a DC on his last two coaches who apparently hated the style of defense he was being hired to coach. |

A halfway competent DC gets us a playoff win under vermeil. Even a below average draft track record during the vermeil years would have done it. Instead we ended up with a geriatric roster we kept putting on a credit card. By the end of Carl's run he was running a front office of cigar buddies. |
Compare how Carl tried (and failed) to improve the defense during the Vermeil years to how Veach rebuilt the Chiefs defense in one offseason into a Super Bowl-caliber defense.

That helmet in the op is queer as hell.
