maybe defensive coaching doesn't matter

I'd argue Pendergast could be blamed for AZ's loss at the superbowl last year. he's proven he's mediocre...but maybe he'll get lucky w/ the Chiefs. This is cronyism at its finest IMHO but I digress.

****maybe defensive coaching is more about the players and less about the coaching.****

off the top of my head...
Romeo - supposedly good DC but team was fine without him.
Marvin Lewis (good DC, then head coach that couldn't spell D)..and the Ravens were fine without him.
Buddy Ryan...got a lot of credit but had great players
Gunther - was a genius when he had DT and Neil and decent cast down in Tenn. but otherwise pretty average.
the list goes on...

maybe defensive coaching doesn't matter.

all in all i think it was lack of big game experience. And now that he has that he will only learn.

The squads aren't complete yet but we'll have to have a look in training camp... see if the O takes down Pendergast's new D.

How about an entire game? Not to mention the fact that that TD pass wasn't defendable.

The coverage was as good as anyone could have asked for, and it was a TD anyway.

But, that Defense was garbage, that managed to play well for four games.

They overachieved to reach The Super Bowl. Hard to blame them for not winning it, in my opinion.
