re: My thoughts on the Kevin Steele hire

I'm taking a wait and see approach. I do believe that a big part of coaching is the Jimmy's and the Joe's rather than the X's and the O's. Great players make coaches look good. Steele is set up to succeed. He has a great D line coach and a great secondary coach. So he will have extremely talented and well coached players. He won't need to be a genius. Just let his ball players do what they do.


Let's use Brick Haley as an example. When he had Mingo, Montgomery, Logan, and Brockers, he was a great D line coach. When he had Hunter, Rasco, Lacoture, and Godchaux, his lines weren't the same. Did he forget how to coach? Nope, he just had better players.

Chavis ran the same D since 2011 so why didn't somebody make plays like Tyrann Mathieu did? The answer is that Dwayne Thomas isn't Tyrann Mathieu. Same system but works completely different due to the player executing it.
