I'm underwhelmed by the hire. But willing to give him a shot. He may be cursed. A lot of his recent "failures" are based on him not cutting it as a head coach, and two no win situations (bountygate, mcadoo-gate). Maybe the 2016 successful giants defense was a fluke. Or maybe he was onto something only for mcadoo to **** things up. That gives me some hope.
In the meantime, we move to a D better suited for the modern nfl. We bring in a guy with a great track record of success with DB's. We sound committed to improving our D personnel. We don't have Sutton. And if we improve from last to just better than last, that might actually be just enough to put us over the top.
He's gotta prove to me he's better than mediocre. There's other guys I would've preferred. But the hire will make is better and there is that small possibility this hire could be excellent.
