re: Was Spags being fired completely based on the worst defense in history...

Our defense wasn't nearly as bad the year before, and we had arguably worse personnel that year. Our entire organizational structure was flipped on it's head, and you could see the effects on the ENTIRE team. It was much more pronounced with the defense because the scheme we were running really didn't fit our players, especially in the secondary. A lot of those guys really didn't know how to play zone.
