Okay! I said it. He's a horrible coach. Every time I watch a game, and see how inept the defense looks, I ask myself why he's still there?
Not only does he lack ability in scheming, he's not even a decent judge of talent. He just plain misuses guys, and wastes their careers, playing in his system.
Let's talk about Casey Hayward as an example. He was criticized, and considered less than a stellar CB in Green Bay. He blew assignments, and wasn't "quick enough" to cover decent WRs.
When it came time for a contract, he left through free agency. The Packers apparently didn't see his real value.
It didn't take long for him to make a reputation in his first year, with the Chargers. Here's an excerpt of how he played. I doubt very much that he suddenly learned how to play, after leaving GB.

From the Chargers site:
Casey Hayward had one heck of a first season with the Chargers in 2016.
Just ten months after signing a new three-year pact with the Chargers, Hayward was a first-time Pro Bowler, the Chargers’ Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year, and a second-team All-Pro. Hayward led the NFL and set a new career high with seven picks as he became the first Chargers defender to win the League’s interceptions title outright since 2007. Hayward also paced the Bolts with 23 passes defensed in 2016.
