Well, that's pretty clear based on that BB appearance on the Sirius NFL channel. BB pretty much said that the main reason for the 4-3 was the lockout-caused lack of a full offseason. With the clear implication that if there had been a normal off-season he would have stayed with the 3-4.
I heard it and I don't buy that as the reason. This team has been a base 3-4 team for nearly the entire time he has been here. How many returning players from last year wouldn't understand the 3-4 scheme? How is changing to a new base easier to teach in less time, as opposed to going with a familar scheme?
I believe the 4-3 base was personnel driven. IMO, if that was dictated by the current roster or the available talent, or the fact that it is becoming harder to find 3-4 guys that fit BB's scheme etc.... is up for debate.
