In regards to defensive packages. I just wish it was in regards to personnel..

Hopefully, this translates to getting the youngsters more playing time.

I don't think good coaching staffs ever resort to this unless they do not think they have the caliber of people on their team they need to handle or sufficiently prepare themselves for the schemes they'd like to run.MAFishFan and Pandarilla like this. -
Maybe an admonition on Coyle being too much of a mad scientist and over thinking it while adding unnecessary confusion for the players.

There were times when Coyle would overthink things which probably led to defensive confusion.Getting down to basics is a pretty good idea at least until the players gell enough to assimilate his innovative ideas.When you are rotating new players frequently its difficult to gell.

I'd tend to think that the major issue they're trying to address is that the defense has a lot of weird quirks in terms of how it lined up.
This defense is intended to have a Carlos Dunlap type DE in addition to a pure edge rusher, and shift with the offensive strength(which it doesn't do as intended with Wake). Kevin Coyle hasn't done a good job adjusting the defense towards that, and there's been a lot of circumstances where guys have been put in bad positions. -
It's one thing to be stupid, but being stupid on purpose is evil.
