GRUDEN HAS MISSED ON TWO DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR CHOICES; WILL HE SURVIVE A THIRD?

This tidbit from the article is interesting.

Some have said that Gruden has preferred to go with lower profile defensive coordinators because he did not want to be overshadowed by the likes of Phillips, who has decades of experience in the league including stints as a head coach. Whether that’s true or not. the end product on defense has not been good. He had better cast a wide net and strongly consider hiring a coordinator who has a track record of success. If that means he might be overshadowed, so be it.
