Because if you do, I think you are barking up the wrong tree, since he's only been with the team for a year and his track-record before that would indicate that he is more than capable of doing the job and developing the Saints' DBs.

If he can get them to tackle, hit, and play some D you may be right. But judging by last years performance or should I say lack of, his track records mean nothing, look at Spags., performance is EVERYTHING, and he has shown nothing to prove me wrong.

So, I wouldn't put too much of the blame for the way the secondary performed last season on the shoulders of Curtis, but only time will tell if my belief in that regard was justified.
