I wasn't overly enthused about this hire when it first came to light that he was the favourite. But now its all done, and after looking at his philosophy/record in more detail, I think I can get behind this appointment now. One thing that I find encouraging is firstly that he's coached at pretty much every level of the defense. DB's, Defensive line etc. So he'll know exactly what he wants from his defense In every area. He's also got a reputation of improving his players, something Sutton struggled with for the most part. I also like the fact that he's shown his brilliance on the biggest stage against what was deemed an unstoppable force when he stopped the Pats offense in the 2007 superbowl.
All we can do now is hope that this appointment can be looked back on in years to come as a turning point for the franchise. If he can give Pat a top fifteen defense over the next few years then I have no doubt that we can win the whole thing.
