I saw an article somewhere from someone weighing Austin as a head coaching candidate. They pointed out that in Austin's first year with Detroit they were third in the NFL on defense and then they fell off after that. Their analysis was that they were stacked with talent when he arrived but that the talent level deteriorated during his tenure.
I think the third down stat has a lot to do with the fact that we've faced a string of top quarterbacks along with injuries at linebacker. The new system is part of the problem but it's too soon to determine whether that's just a learning curve.
