Some Dude Hired to Coach Donk's Defense

My thoughts must be relaxed
Be able to maintain
Cause times is changed and life is strange...
One and done isn't just a popular term for college freshmen who play only one year then bolt for the pros, it also applies to the Broncos' defensive coordinators. Five, count em, five DCs over the last five years. Somewhere, George Steinbrenner is sending a shiny gold star to the team.
The newest is Don Martindale, who coached the line backers this past year. Check the resume: only prior DC experience would be Western Kentucky in 03. When you think staunch D, think the Hilltoppers. After that was a short stint in Oakland, the cradle of coaches. Prior stops were 1994 at Notre Dame where he basked in the twilight that was Lou Holtz's career, and also at Cincinnati in the 90s, where he taught the 2-3 zone to Nick Van Exel and Kenyon Martin (seriously, Cincy had football then?)
Don Martindale, Wink Martindale, Don Drysdale, Dale Martinbroncofucker, does it really matter at this point? Ray Rhodes, Larry Coyer, and the rest of the exes are shaking their heads. Is the new DC going to come in and change things and suddenly mold the unit into the 1985 Bears? Oh wait, that was the guy last year.
(Check the resemblance of Martindale to former wrestler Vader. That'll motivate the team, the constant threat of a top rope knock out)
