Well that offense was on a roll as they put up 38 points on the Vikings who had the best defense in the league and he was the DC for a few Super Bowl winning teams and plenty of years the Patriots make do with little in the way of big name defensive talent. I had read some stories of him and how brilliant of a mind he has, his work ethic, etc and he seemed like a guy that had to work his way up the ladder going from an engineer volunteering coaching high school football, graduate assistant in college, all the way to the NFL. It's not just me as there's been plenty written about him and his chances of being the next great coach. I know you dislike him because he was indicted (not prosecuted) on a sexual assault charge but to me that doesn't matter when talking football and I just thought he would be better prepared because of the road he took to get to where he is and supposedly how intelligent he is. He's been a disappointment to date but it must be noted a lot of great coaches didn't fare well in their first season.
