Sutton has never had a problem going from high or low in his career. He is just devoted to coaching football. This is my take, reading his extremely varied cv.

Mangini didn't want to be his own front man on defense, but he wanted his own defense to be run. Sutton already had rapport with the players and he was a loyal soldier for Mangini.

Perhaps, through all this surrogate micro-managing of the defense, Mangini became his own worst enemy.

I say this because if there were more independent voices being listened to about defense on Mangini's CS, then (a) Mangini's original 08 strategic mistakes might have been noticed sooner, (b) there would be a tough mind that might have successfully defended the DBs' own ad hoc adjustments to Mangini's obviously not-working defense. Instead Mangini was able to quickly shut the players' adjustments down; and then (c) the massive revision of all the DB strategies in the middle of the season might have been phased in over more time, instead of during a single week between games.

Limiting his focus to linebackers returns Sutton to perhaps his greatest most consistent strength position -- just like Callahan going back to coaching the offensive line where his true talent apparently lies.

I think all these NYJ HCs have liked and trusted Sutton because he seriously deserves it -- the fact that so many HCs have reached the same conclusion about the guy is telling, in my mind.

Well thought out post... tough to argue with as well. :up:

As long as he's not the defensive coordinator i'm fine with whatever he does.
