This is the guy, Leslie Frazier. Experienced and knows the Buffalo boys pretty well, yeah, that team we CANNOT beat, recall ? Phins don’t need Staley or some other young “neophyte” with potential genius, etc, remember Gase, oh geeez ! Bring in experience and knowledge. It will be respected by the vets on defense and that is huge. Reports appear that Fangio rubbed some players wrong. Probably did. Not everyone is as effervescent as MM. However, it was obvious that the team mostly listened, even with the injuries was a top 10 defense and didn’t really mesh until like a third of the season was in, if not more.
