Bowles run as a D-Coord with Az. is far more telling, and my limited research is pulling up positive information thus far. One thing that struck me in an old Cards article is Bowles explaining that his approach is not a "one size fits all" in terms of developing his players and making sure they understand what they need to do. He prefers to find out what method makes a guy understand and retain, and tailor the method accordingly.
Being a HC
and running a defense simultaneously shouldn't be a measuring stick here. I mean ****, that's what Reid has been doing on his side of the ball, and I daresay that his time spent nose-deep in the play book isn't exactly making him a field general you can trust on Sundays. There's a reason the football system from grade school to the pros is made up of several people doing specialized jobs.
