Well said. As mentioned, you have to judge him on his body of work. A lot (me included) called him a one trick pony but I think you can also call him a 1 year pony as well. He changed the mindset of our D in 2009. Don't know what happened after that. This year we had the lockout and I think that may of had more to do with things than we realize.

Yeah, I also think that one has to look at the whole 3 year stint as a whole and not just fixate on the last game - as a whole it wasn't good enough to keep GW around.

It almost seemed to me that since the Saints let Bobby McCrady go, there really hasn't been a sense of the vicious pass rush that carried the Saints through those playoffs, and especially against the Vikes.
