I think both Crennel and Pees have been good Defensive Coordinators in New England but there will always be a debate on which Coordinator was better for this team in this decade.
I think the defense has been pretty good through both DC in this decade in the regular season,but the difference lies in the playoffs where Crennel was at his best and the defense did exactly what they needed to where as Dean Pees did not have the success,especially in the big games...as of yet
Crennel's defense almost always did the right things at the right times resulting in SB Championships.
Overall do you still put a Crennel defense in New England better than a Pees run defensive group? - there may be an argument there considering the team went 18-0 last year before defeat.
I still think the loss of Crennel meant a possible loss of an additional Championship or two for the Patriots, but Pees is still decent IMO.
Forget Mangini - He does not count
