But, when you have upwards of 10 people turn you down/get blocked...that's what happens.
This guy wouldn't be on anyone's Top 3 list to be a DC. Yet...he's our DC now.
So much for having an experienced DC so the rookie coach could focus on the offense.
The thing that makes this look like settling to me is this: Taylor worked closely with this guy in Miami.
If he thought highly of Anarumo, then why is he like the 10th guy we talked to, 2 weeks later?

Seems like the least popular take is just waiting until a team is on the field and then deciding with some actual data at hand.
I'm judging resumes, which takes no guessing or assuming. I just look at what this guy has done, and I can tell you it's not that impressive. In fact, I don't think anyone will even try to argue against that, because it's obviously a losing argument.
I'm not firmly declaring anything about the future. For all I know, this guy could be an amazing hidden gem. I'm just saying that it doesn't seem likely given his resume, which is mediocre at best.
Do you really disagree? If so, tell me what about Anarumo excites you, other than he's new to us.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
