Funny how many of you who just jump in on a "He sucks" lemming threads were saying the polar opposite 4 years ago at this time..based on next to no knowledge. Many here were begging for him. 
Go back and read.
Come on. If you don't like the guy, base it on doing some actual research going back a few years and not looking at a recent headline of him being fired in Tampa.
His ideal D is a 4-3 with big guys upfront. Isn't blitz happy. Man coverage. Lots of top 10 D's that could be called boring/conservative but seem to force a lot of punts.
He took a couple of jobs in Tampa & Denver and was handed a bad cast to work with. Tampa was still loaded with smallish Cover 2 guys. Shanny was just signing aging FA's and had little talent on the D side of the ball. He never stood a chance in either stop.
We are the worst team in the NFL by a mile against the run. His D would seem to improve that by leaps and bounds, with some actual help in FA and the draft. I still like Stroud, Spencer Johnson and Williams as good 4-3 fits up front, since they have power. The scheme is key to us not giving up 100 + yard games to RB's like it's a given every week. That usually equals a loss.
If someone tells me we should have kept Fewell and his paper D against the run, I'll laugh for a week. If we can even improve to the middle of the pack against the run, we stand a chance to be competitive in far more games.
Let the interview process with all these asst. coaches run it's course and play out before running to the bridge.
