The Pats announced that Coach Belichick will not be hiring a defensive coordinator for the 2010 season. He will be "more involved" in the defense. This leaves the team without a coordinator for both sides of the ball.
Belichick is known as a control freak and one of the geniuses of the game. He also has one of the smallest coaching staffs in the NFL.
It was interesting to note that former defensive coordinator Dean Pees spent a great deal of his time up in the booth communicating with Belichick and his staff rather than being on the sidelines.
Many observers thought that Pepper Johnson, the long-time defensive line coach, would get the nod for the coordinator's position.
We always hear that the Pats employ a very complex "scheme". It takes players and coaches a long time to get up to speed.
This observer was surprised to hear that the coach will assume another duty. I hope it works.
