i don't think that gunther had much to maintain...
back when he had a ready made pass rush with with neil smith and derrick thomas to go along with 2 cornerbacks in hasty and carter his job was relative simple.
he also had a defensive head coach to hold his hand in marty shottenheimer.
the defense has had issues ever since, even with gunther.
on the other hand, i think with al saunders the offensive players have over achieved ... the system has made them better.
can saunders do the same without Vermeil?
can saunders be one of these HC/OC's?
i don't know ... i hope so
i've Never been too impressed with Herm edwards as a head coach in NY.
