I'm not going to pretend I have an opinion on Butler as a DC. I have a lot of respect for McDermott and Frazier as coaches & they chose him to coach their respected position group. That speaks volumes in coaching. I just want to see a more disruptive approach & stickier coverage.
We have no choice but to hope Rhule has this right and he trusts Snow. Whether his presence is as a 3-3-5 mentor, sounding board, or insurance policy, that has to be a positive.
Bradden is an interesting hire. There's a lot to like, but his background as a player was as a QB. This occurs a lot in the NFL and it's less an issue when you spend your time coaching professionals scheme & gameplan. Does he have the technical chops to coach technique to a very young and inexperienced room? Because if the Blackshirts have McGuire lead caliber deficiencies in the D-Line room, nothing behind matters.
