Of course, the Broncos finished dead last in yards allowed that season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It completely falls in line with the most relevant criticism towards John Harbaughs tenure, that he is too "loyale" to old friends instead of finding the best suited for the job.

The one year that he was DC his defense was #32 in yards and ppg, and this being a good year to get a DC doesnt help either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care much about a bad season as a coordinator a long time ago, but I did want something fresher than an internal hire who was at least a part of the incredibly flawed system since 2012. The LBs are going to be the key to this defense. We finally have pieces at corner to be good in the secondary if close to half of them can make it to the end of the season. But, the development of guys like Bowser, Tim Williams and Judon is going to be the critical aspect going forward, so there's a little merit in promoting the LB coach.

I was very much encouraged by Harbaugh stressing that he was going to be more aggressive at the announcement presser. Definitely shows where he was tiring of Pees previously, IMO (he had made comments to that effect following clear stepping in it by Pees's late game clamming up).

Hope it's not a similar situation mch like with the Saints and Sean Payton. It took 3 straight 7-9 seasons to realize sometimes ya gotta fire your "friends". I like the Ravens and wish the franchise the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
