From everything I've read, this guy could very well be a huge pickup. Seems he likes aggressive D's and considering he was under JJ for 8 years means something. He's responsible for coaching several pro-bowlers at various positions and was pretty big in the European league.

All I can say is it should be intersting.

I also heard he prefers a 4-6 defense...any idea what the hell that means? I get a 3-4 and a 4-3, but what the heck is a 4-6.

The '46' (forty-six) is also known as the 'Bear' (See: Bud Ryan & the Bears), but Spagnuolo's defense is the 4-6 (four-six) formation which features four down lineman and six linebackers.

No wonder the Eagles let him go . :doh:

I have actually heard that this works well when it is employed. Also note it is not a standard for the entirety of a game, it is used is specific blitz packages, much like the Bears and Eagles use at time. That's the way it was explained to me at least.
