People can blame the FO, and new HC all they want, the reality is, this falls squarely on the shoulders of a historically underperforming unit. They were piss poor last season, and this is the result. I'd venture Marvin would have had trouble finding a new coordinator after that dogshit performance.
There is a difference though between saying...the players are crap and saying you don't have the players necessary to run my scheme successfully. Zampese, for example, was a coordinator who wouldn't change his scheme despite the inability of his players to succeed in that scheme. Grantham was unwilling to make adjustments to the personnel. At least that was his excuse. Bellichik teams have been successful on the defensive side because they play to the personnel.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
