The guy is supposed to be a defensive master/wizard/guru/Yoda....right? So why is it that the Pats offense has been so strong in the past 5 years, and their defense so weak?
Could the Patriots be doing better with another coach?

Gone was the physical run stuffing defense, gone was the power running game, it turned into what it is now, a spread offense that chucks it all over the place. The Pats no longer do what took them to three Super Bowls. They aren't about ball control, the team revolves around Brady and the defense is built to protect leads, not win slugfests. This change of philosophy, given the talents of Brady, was pretty natural, but its not surprising that they haven't won a Super Bowl since adopting this approach.

They finally have a running game showing itself which will help their defense not need to be playing soft zones to contain the lead every game. He is going to retire a Patriot.
