Hire Mickens --
he's learned from two of the best (Freeman and Golden) and he's done a fantastic job with the DBs. We don't need someone bringing in a new system. We're going to have good defenses as long as Freeman is HC.
Where HCs run into trouble is hiring coordinators on the other side of the ball who don't fit. Davie's offenses were pitiful. Jim Colletto? TW didn't have a side of the ball and his coordinators sucked. Weis had disastrous DCs. Kelly's weren't great until he got on the Elko-Lea-Freeman train.
Complete thread:
- with Golden leaving (per ISD and Thamel) -
