While it's not popular with some, I've argued Joe Vitt (along with DLC Bill Johnson and STC Greg McMahon) are liabilities and should be replaced...

Additionally, while I think Dennis Allen is a superb Secondary Coach/Coordinator, it's a mistake though having a two-headed monster coordinating the defense; two messages, confuses players...

Well if the quality of team tackling is a reflection of the coaching, and I'd say it is, then Vitt, along with the other defensive coaches (& special teams) need to be relieved of their duties...

Ah! Joe Vitt. The Mark Ingram of coaching.

Between 2006 and 2014, the best 3 LBs in B&G have been Vilma, Fujita, and Shanle. Go ahead, make a list of the rest, and try to put together 1 good LB, mixing up all of them.

This season, the Saints got Kikaha, Anthony, Ellerbe... and they are balling. But no, let's argue that Joe Vitt sucks, and that this LB lineup will be hindered by Vitt, given how many All-Pro LBs' careers and development he's screwed up.
