Rich Rod fires Jeff Casteel

Not exactly seismic cfb news, but noteworthy. Outside of a few dismal years in Ann Arbor (where he begged Jeff to go along) Rich, Casteel and his 3-3-5 have been joined at the hip since nearly last century.
There's only a handful of guys that could swoop in and coach the scheme, and the best one just signed a new deal at WV that ensures him the DC position whether or not Dana Holgorsen is retained (and could be a head coach candidate if things go south in '16).
I'm guessing folks out there weren't happy and demanded a change in the whole defensive scheme. It'll be interesting to see which way Rod goes.

Amazed he's gotten this far with the 3-3-5

Yeah, the 3-3-5 can look great when it clicks like once or twice every four years, and can make havoc without top-100's on the DL.
But mostly it's watching your team's new uniforms get marched up & down the field by unimpressed, larger schools.

It's interesting because when Rich Rod was first succeeding at Arizona, there was an idea that he washed out at Michigan because he didn't bring over Casteel. Now, it's that the system is fricked. Why does Rich Rod persist with it? As mgoblog said when Michigan went to it against OSU this year:

I remember a couple Gerg threads 
Casteel always seemed to have good years on the right years - but without Wright, this was the wrong year.

I bet his agent told him he is not marketable with that shite defense. He wanted a few jobs that he didn't get this year.

Yep, the 3-3-5 just isn't a legitimate base defense
