is that KS my be a little too handsy with the Defense.
If rumors are true, not saying they are, but if the drop 8 mental pressure crap was Lamb or KS's doing, then it might not actually change. The new DC should have complete autonomy to succeed or fail on their own. They shouldn't be forced to do this drop 8 failure, regardless of how novel Lamb or KS think it is. Let the new guy do his thing, and KS or Lamb should help him fine tune the defense HE thinks is best.
