Marty Schottenheimer is one of the biggest sticklers of fundamentals in the game. Gun, for some reason, did not get that from Marty. How many big plays were given up because of poor tackling fundamentals. And how different would some of our blitzes have been if they were actually timed correctly. Finally, while Marty had an amazing eye for talent, Gunther has continued to make questionable after quesetionable talent about talent, as evidenced by his "wish list" that consisted of Kendrell Bell, Knight, Carlos Hall, and Surtain.
Gun could do okay with a very hands-on defensive head coach who can drill fundamentals into players. But he's not good enough to do it on his own. He's more of a lackey coordinator than a difference making one.

I was leaning towards the notion Gunther must go, but couldn't be sure he was the reason behind the D's poor play. Reminding me of Gun's wish list seals the deal. It's time for a regime change. The EVIDENCE is unequivocal.
