vmax Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 A lot of credit has gone Caldwells way and rightfully so but Dean Pees was dealt a short hand this year and he's done a excellent coaching job. Total revenge: Reaching the final Sunday of the season is beyond gratifying for any coach. But it has to be especially so for Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees, who was the Patriots' defensive coordinator from 2006 to '09. After New England let him go, Pees thought he had landed the Denver defensive coordinator job only to see then-Broncos coach Josh McDaniels snub him in favor of Don "Wink" Martindale. Then, in Sunday's AFC Championship Game, Pees got to square off against McDaniels' offense in the stadium that was his home field for four seasons. As one NFL executive wrote in a text, "Pees receives total revenge." He did it in startling fashion, as well. The Ravens shut out the Patriots in the second half. When New England needed points, it didn't get any. Not many teams pitch second-half shutouts on the road at New England. Then again, not many defensive coordinators have one game mean as much as this one did to Pees.http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2012/story/_/page/10spot-12week21/2012-nfl-playoffs-colin-kaepernick-russell-wilson-cash-in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
