Can't have it both ways...
The fact is that the front office didn't replace Sean Smith, Marcus Peters, OR Dontari Poe.
I just want to warn everyone of the fallacy of thinking a change of coordinators can make any substantial difference, when we clearly have a talent issue on the defensive side of the ball.
Remember when Goonther came back in 2004, everyone thought we were going to the Souper Bowl...but the defense was actually worse under Cunningham, and we finished 7-9?
That's what happens when you think it's the scheme and not the players.

I think the pass interference and defensive holding emphasis ruined us. Not enforcing pick plays didn't help. Our scheme was extremely dependent on coverage and press coverage.
