He got away from some of the things they did so well in his first year, which led to a lot of takeaways. He relied too much on 4-man rushes, which leaves a lot of bodies in coverage, but this only works IF you can actually generate pressure rushing 4. He refused to acknowledge the shortcomings of the pass rush and stubbornly stuck to his guns until he was forced to once Micah went down.Count me as one guy who isn't entirely  heartbroken over his departure. With or without Micah, we need a pressure based defense that can amplify the threat of our best players (Micah, D-watt, Coop, and McKinney) and protect our weakest link (DBs).</blockquote>
