I was the one who was critical of the Nunn hiring. My points are reasonable, there is a body of work that only lasts about 2 seasons or less anywhere he's been. if you listen to Fewell, this was not a guy he considered but he was recommended to him by TC and other coaches. Given this is the only hiring he'll get, why wouldn't he hire someone he's worked with before? This seems to promote a lack of cohesion within the group. In terms of the other D-lines he'c coached, they included players like Jason Taylor, Bruce Smith, KGB. Maybe Osi and Kiwi fit this mold and will work under his mentoring, that's a positive but also these guys all played with Giant (fat) run stoppers that allowed them to essentially be one dimensional D ends. This seems like the type of scheme we already have and it didn't work GOGOLACK
