Very happy with this. Obviously the dragging out of it was frustrating, but Fangio has done a lot with this defense and I'm glad he'll get to see it through and continue. He knows what he's doing, and thats what I want. So I would have been happy with Bettcher or perhaps Edwards, but I'm glad to be getting back what I've come to know. Now, as some have alluded, let's see if he adds any twists to the defense to become a bit more aggressive.
No doubt he was hoping to get at least a HC interview elsewhere, and if not that, at least have his agent calling around to get an idea of the market for him as a DC.
When all that was done apparently the Bears were still the highest paying team so he stayed.
So now how much of the D side coaching was Fox hiring? I guess all of it but I guess we will start seeing who Fang wants with him. The De-Foxing is almost complete.
Ed Donatell has been with Fangio forever, so he's definitely one of his guys. Not sure about the other guys.
Agreed. But IMO Donatell will be a DC before long.

I would be surprised if he got more aggressive. Fangio likes bend but don't break defenses. He's shown repeatedly that he likes to uses disguised coverages over lots of blitzing. When he does it's more of zone style blitz where an OLB drops into coverage and somebody else rushes the passer instead. It's rare to see more than 4 pass rushers on a play. This is why he's a good DC.

Definitely want Donatell to stay. He did a heck of a job with the secondary this year.
