I agree Flores is a huge loss. I think he's the biggest coaching loss we've had in the BB era.( except for Scars brief retirement).
But we got the goat HC. Plus a veteran defense full of players who are coaches on the field like High, Dmac,Chung.
I think Bruschi summed this up best recently. He said Flores solidified the trust he had from everybody when he took the blame for the Miami debacle.
He asks if schiano will have that same kind of stand-up accountability. Only time will tell.
Flores by all accounts was s very tough coach in players. Like BB. Like schiano, so that's not a problem. But the players could relate to Flores and most importantly, knew he had their backs.
I think it'll be fine. Half the secondary had schiano as HC at Rutgers and that's his specialty. BB is always heavily involved with the front 7.
Schiano also likes an aggressive D, as did Flores.
