Munch has identified leading candidates for DC and LB coach

It would be a pretty weak comparison. Cecil was a quality coach when Gray was actually constructing decent defenses in Buffalo.

I don't think Cecil is a bad coach, but I think he was grossly under-qualified to be a DC. He might get better, but he's abysmal right now. It's not that his defense failed (which can be a lot of factors), it's HOW it failed. It was very easy to see that the scheme Cecil had was weak and he didn't know how to adjust.

Gray has proven he can be a good DC, because he was in Buffalo. Cecil could never say the same.

 

I thought Cecil was horrible as DC. I also think he instilled an attitude of cheapness on the defense that was the reason we were among the league leaders in personal fouls.

It's one thing to be tough and hard hitting it is another to be cheap.

Certainly this was not a smart defense or a very focused one.


As for Gray he took average players and got better than average results. Maybe not consistent results or dominant results but his defenses averaged 13th in total D which most of us would take.

We also know that Gray will run a 4-3 that better suits our personnel but will feel free to change things up and be creative. He has experience so he won't be learning on the job. I loved him as a player.

 

Sounds like gray is staying at texas. What direction do we go now? Also I do not see why we would want Callahan from the jets as OC.

 

No Grey for DC and no Callahan for OC
This is a good early look on how Munch takes pressure...
What will you do now Munch?
