Zimmer took a unit that was ranked number 4 in the league in '09 and turned them into a mediocre defense ranked 15rh in '10.
Guenther had the Bengals ranked #11 last year.
Both coaches had up and down seasons based on different talent and opponents. Guenther was a good DC last year. He knows his football. In fact Zimmer wanted Pauley to be his DC with the Vikings. It is crazy to act like he suddenly forgot everything he knows about NFL defense.
