[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 690082"] I actually agree. I'm agnostic as to whether the new guy is a 3-4 or a 4-3. The point was to illustrate that 4-3 is not out of the question with the current personnel with a couple of changes. The cognitive dissonance of "that's not the way we're used to doing things" in a similar scheme gets broken down in a scheme change...clean the slate, start with fresh air. I expressed the possibility of making the switch in 2015 to Schwartz if he would have taken the job, but Matthews would have been problematic. In retrospect, he was wasted playing ILB anyway. Schwartz had a record fielding decent defenses in Detroit sometimes with undermanned backfields. He was not cut out to be a head coach; he couldn't control the thuggery (not just Suh). Some guys are just not HC material. He then took an underachieving Bills defense into a top drawer unit in one year, got dumped by Ryan, and that D has not been the same since even with both Ryans this season. After sitting out the 2015 season (waiting for a HC call?), Schwartz has taken an underperforming bottom-of-pack Philly unit and taken them to the top 10, again in one season. So my question behind this history lesson is as follows: are there one-time accomplished DCs with a track record of turn-arounds who have failed as a HC? They would be on the short list of candidates, and I wouldn't care if they're 3-4 or 4-3 guys. [/QUOTE]
