I certainly get it about coachs wanting to hire assistant coachs they know or have had a relationship with, or atleast come recommended by others they know or have worked with. And there's a certain amount of the old "to the victor belong the spoils" thing present here.
Now practically speaking I don't think RC will do any better with the defense this year than Wade would have done, except perhaps if there's better communications between BOB and his DC because of familiarity, which certainly is important. As far as coaching styles go, I think we are gonna find that Crennel is basically pretty easygoing, a laid-back type much like Wade, and not the intense type at all. But with 2-14, it's certainly understandable that a totally clean slate would be one result of such a season.
