Ryan is a second year DC and his unit is lightyears beyond shanahan.
Sad but true
Offenses and defenses are too different to make this comparison, IMO.
Defense is about harnessing talent and pointing it in the right direction. Goal of a defense is to create chao and disruption, and to be opportunistic.
Offenses are about rhythm, timing, precision. It's an orchestra. And it needs a top end conductor (QB) to truly bring all the instruments into harmony consistently enough to win year in and year out. Sometimes a team can get by with the community theater orchestra because their defense is so good, but it's rare.
Long winded excuse. Shanahan is a crap head coach and nothing more than a schemer who doesn't even adapt that scheme to maximize talent.
The only adaptations he does make are ones that get his starting QB killed (and his career in the process).
Remember when he called a shotgun delay with jimmy g after he snapped Lance's ankle? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
You are welcome to your opinion. Just don't come complain to me when the next HC sucks much more than Shanahan, because odds are he will.
Don't want Kyle canned but Sean Payton wouldn't fail on this team. One things for sure he'll run up the score and keep attacking
What's Payton's record without Brees?
In Payton's defense. He never had a defense like this.
