Many here are talking about the need for upgrades at this position and that. However, I believe we have almost all the right personnel now to have a good to adequate defense. What we haven't had is continuity in scheme and style on the defensive side of the ball. Bringing back Coach Allen is the single best action the Saints have made. With 4 DCs in 5 years is it any wonder that the personnel and the scheme are a mess.
Add to that that we haven't really been able to "coach" the players into a single stable modus operandi in defense over the last few years. Look at the perennial winners. They have coaching stability. Pittsburgh, New England, Seattle, Green Bay. They are very or relatively stable.
I hope the Saints hire some defensive coaches who all be on the same page and are good teachers who can teach players how to play at the NFL level and play as a team.
