on the defensive side of the ball for $1 million per year.
Where can I sign up for a gig like this?

Here's the level of coaching we're getting
- Thread starter SteelCurtain74
- Start date
Honest question:
At what point does a horrible scheme and bad coaching make once driven players become apathetic and slow, destroying defensive team morale?
I am looking forward to a Matt Wyatt no bs film study on both.

You know you have coaches/staffs come in and right aways you know hey we got something. They just have the players motivated, good scheme, making plays, opposing teams have to play well if they are going to beat you, players in great position to make plays, excellent in game adjustments, ect... Just don't feel that way after 4 games with this group.
You know Jackie Sherrill came in, hey we got something right away, Dan Mullen came in, hey we got something right away even though we finished 5-7 but you could see it with our play. Some coaches just have it.. Alabama had a losing record in 2006, Saban came in 2007 hey we got something, they were moving in right direction even though they fished 6-6 that year. You could see it in their play that quick.
Hope Lebby figured it out!

we are officially the laughingstock of the college football world.
100% accurate. I could tell in the first couple drives of the Mullen era that we were in for a good time.

Damn. That is junior high awful.
Do y'all really think our defense was coached to line up like that?
Or, do you think our defensive players are . . . essentially stupid?
I'm going with that second choice.
On that play, several of our defensive players were lined up incorrectly and/or went the wrong way when the ball was snapped.

I am guessing it was the players not getting lined up. If that was the design then the DC really does need to be fired in the morning.
That's what your timeouts are for - DC should have seen that immediately.
It all three. No talent. Stupid players. And very bad coaching.
Even if it is the second option, doesn’t that ultimately come back to coaching and preparation?
Does it really matter at this point? This is a similar situation to the OC last year. I’m sure the OC was not telling the receivers to constantly run wrong routes… but 4 games in if our defense is making mistakes like this they are simply not being coached well. The coach can scheme up something awesome, it does not matter if he can’t teach the players the right way to run the scheme.
I know our talent is bad… but it’s not as bad as the performance being displayed. Coaching is the bigger issue.
Does Blanton look like a player who knows what’s going on and can make adjustments? He looks surprised that he’s getting hit when he’s trying to make a tackle. That dude is out of it.
Since that was game 4 and there has not been a single improvement on defense, I think the career Special Teams guy that we hired as a DC could possibly be an issue
I doubt this group is any smarter or dumber than any other defense we have had.
Jameis Winston won a national championship. This is 100% on coaching.
I do not have any answers for our defense. We really need to start all over again. It can't hurt anything, considering where we are right now.
We are starting with a new quarterback on the offensive side of the ball and will have to "dumb it down," so speak, from where we originally started. This may not be bad, considering what has happened this far with the offense. This might be time to try to hit the reset button on offense.
I wish I had an idea of what to do for our defense.

Is it possible that our team is full of 2nd & 3rd stringers (or lower) who never thought they would be starters and were content to ride the bench and enjoy the benefits of NIL and scholarship money. Now they are thrown into the fire and don't know what the 17 to do.
Isn't this try equivalent of pulling both sides of the line opposite each other Kevin Barbary style?
I knew under Leach we ran wide splits on the offensive line, I didn't realize wide splits on the defensive line was a thing.****
Right. One of our great players on one of our historic defenses (in)famously made like a 5 on the wunderlic. It's not the IQ of the players.
