Venturi deserves the blame for last year, BUT, one year as D coordinator does not define his credibility or lack of.

This motavation argument doesn\'t hold water in my book. Does your boss have to motivate you on a consistant basis to get you to perform?This is the NFL for god\'s sake. If you need that much motivation, then your in the wrong business. Sure coaches are motivators but that is not their primary responsibility. Their job is to put the players in the best position to make plays. I\'m sure he didn\'t do that well enough, but I\'ll say this again..........Players can make a coach look like a hero or a zero. Schemes don\'t make tackles, players do. Schemes maximize a players ability and Venturi needs to do a better job. The talent on last years defense was not good. This year should be a much better evaluation of what kind of coaching ability Venturi has.
