It's definitely time to get it done. There are a lot of teams who have turned around bad defenses doing less than we have. I think we have the talent to be a top 10 defense. That might sound rough because of how bad we've been, but the talent is there. If the Broncos can be a top 5 defense every year, the talent we have can be a top 10.
There have been a lot of excuses, for three years now, I don't want to see a fourth. I think the coach stuff this year was garbage.
Like how people bag on Peter Giunta a lot, and maybe him and Gun didn't mesh, but Giunta was actually a very successful secondary coach everywhere he's been. Vermeil wasn't kidding when he said that. Then he came here and was forced to work with our prized collection of safety projects. All of a sudden he doesn't look so good. Funny how that works. Even then he turned Warfield into something, had McCleon actually playing pretty well, and Woods had a Pro Bowl year when he probably was on the way downhill. Giunta was not a good D-coordinator, but his secondaries for the Rams were always good.... and he was was secondary coach for the Eagles when they were great. Eric Allen, Wes Hopkins, etc... that was one of the best secondaries of the 90's. It was probably time for him to move on though, but Gun is very lucky. Most coordinators who fail get fired, not have the entire rest of the organization turned over to fit their needs.
