Message: <blockquote data-quote="Packerlifer" data-source="post: 246042" data-attributes="member: 1242">Sanders was basically a default selection for dc in 2006. Jim Bates left after just one season when he was passed over for hc. Sanders had worked under him in his system for years as a line coach and TT and MM didn't want to add further disruption with another new defense to implement on top of the head coaching and offensive changes at that time.    To be fair, the D did play well under Sanders at the end of '06 and in '07 was top 12. While he and his assistants had their faults - as reflected in the mass firing last Jan.- they did lose half their line-up last season to injuries.</blockquote>
