PF...He was instrumental in changing schemes to fit the Chief's personnel (including focusing on more agressive play, and speed)...maybe I miss interpreted, but it seemed "he blitzed the hell out of teams" was used as an excuse for the success he had as DC...isn't taking advantage of your personnel strengths a sign of a doing a good job of coaching?
His success may have led to his hiring as head coach...but I don't think we go 13-3 and one holding call away from beating the eventual Super Bowl champs with Dave Adolph as DC...I understand the logic you are using...I just don't think it is fair to say it was wrong to bring Gunther here as DC...his eventual hiring as head coach should not factor into whether the initial move was a poor one...
