Another division rival weakened

[Mr. Miyagi]

Miami's ex-DC and interim HC Jim Bates is going to Green Bay. He's taking his awesome defensive playbook with him.

Not that we had to worry about Miami, but taking their defense away can't hurt us any either. :whew:

I thought about this when I heard it. Good post. I agree this is a blow to their D.

Would Saban have retained him in any case? I understood that Saban is more oriented toward defense, meaning he probably would want to bring in his own man. In any case that means a new system and time get oriented. All that is good.

[Mr. Miyagi]

If that's the case it's head scratching. Miami needs offense, not defense. I wonder why they went with Saban instead of a more offensively oriented coach.
