Good guy and a good move by Philly to hire the 69 year old. He has a ton of experience.

At the same time though......the switch for Castillo makes no sense to me. Offensive line coach to defensive coordinator.....he hasn't coached defense since 1990.

Yeah, I don't really know what to make of the Castillo hiring. He's really highly respected by a lot of the defensive gurus around the league (Rivera, Spagnulo, Frazier) but it seems weird that they waited this long to name him. I don't really see how it's an update over McDermott but time will tell. I love the Mudd hiring.
