Horrible move. It explains our worst fears -- we got the equivalent of Joe Barry - just a guy with a horrible track record of bad defenses. As has been said, it's certainly possible the good D candidates said no because of job security (ie. too much risk of Gruden getting fired in 2 years & having only 1-2 years in the role). But it's ludicrous to believe Manusky makes our D competitive. Best case scenario is Scott McC drafts well / gets good FA players, which automatically improve the defensive play despite Manusky / not because of him.

Barry was 32nd in both yards and points in his two years as a coordinator before he came here. You could see failure coming from a mile away. At least Manusky has had some competent defenses in other stops. Plus he has worked with McCloughan. Kind of an eh hire to me, but there's room for optimism unlike when Barry was hired
