I hope he can work on a tight budget, it's going to be rough for him with the players we have on defense..
Many of them seem to have gotten lazy right after the big pay day.

I think he has a pretty good base to work with, much better than most new coaches inherit.

I don't think we got lazy, I think we just became predictable. From what I've read about Spagnuolo, his defenses are anything but predictable.

There's a new Sherrif in town and these boys are gonna want to prove themselves all over again. It should be exciting.

Actually I read somewhere that the job they offered him at PHI was to be the secondary coach while Castillo would still return as the DC - maybe Reid thought that he would give Juan another chance and if he tanked, they could just promote Spags to take his place mid-season.

I'm not saying that this was the reason alone why he chose NO, but It's not really a head-scratcher if you compare taking a job as the DC or as the secondary coach.
