Why did Spagnuolo stink as Saints' DC? (merged)

He was also forced to keep Sean's boy on his staff and not bring any of his own people in. Not only was his scheme too complex for the players, it was also too complex for the likes of Johnson, Vitt, and the like.

I will always say he was set up to fail.

I mean it is pretty obvious after six straight AFC Championships for the Chiefs that Spags was NOT the problem. The man has three rings as a defensive coordinator, two of which came after his Giants career, so clearly he's been able to field a "just enough" defense just enough times to help win three Super Bowls.
