My hope would be he would bring on a DC that has a similar, aggressive mentality.  It is time to start throwing punches instead of always ducking and running.  That is the ONLY way this team will become remotely interesting again.  I mean, they are my team...and I think they are barely watchable.  Boring, conservative, stupid...

Players like Eric Bieniemy and Jay Gruden go to show you that the best players don't always make great coaches and the not-so-great players can definitely become good coaches.

I think it speaks volumes that Bieniemy played in the NFL during a time that was much more smashmouth than it is now but he's been able to adapt very well going from a player to a coordinator.
