OK, its pretty much become unanimous that Tiger fans would like to hear about a new Defensive Coordinator coming in by the end of the year.......especially if it could help us out in the recruiting dept. by swaying some recruits before NSD.

My question is ( and please, I'm being serious, so don't reply with answers like Saban, Pelini, or Muschamp ), who would you like to see, that is a legitimate possibility, come in and take over the Tiger defense?

An additional question would be, has anyone heard that a search has been started by Miles or that there are any defensive gurus that are interested, or are beginning to be seriously considered for the position?

Lets start looking toward the future and talk about what defensive mind will be able to utilize these beasts that we're going to have on defense. I mean, what D-Co wouldn't want to work with this future defensive force?

DT - Chris Davenport, Lazarius Levingston
DT - Josh Downs/ Kentravis Aubrey, Drake Edwards
DE - Akiem Hicks/ Chancey Aghayere
DE - Micheal Brockers/Chase Clement

LB - Dexter Pratt, Ryan Baker ( Jones )
LB - Kevin Minter ( Bostic )
LB - Lamin Barrow, Barkevious Mingo ( Telfort )

DB - Craig Loston, Jai Eugene
DB - Janzen Jackson, Morris Claiborne
DB - Patrick Peterson, Phelon Jones
DB - Chad Jones, Karnell Hatcher

Greg Robinson/Dick Bumpas would be a good replacement with the way spread offense is shaping up around the SEC

Dick Bumpas!

We need to instill confidence in the players that the DCs know what they are doing.

Players are coming in late 10 games into the season- too much substitution

Plays are coming in late 10 games into the season

Players have remarked about they dont like the schemes being called or gameday preparations

Players do not like the soft defensive schemes

Players have remarked that the defensive line thinks one play is called while the LBs think another is being called thus more confusion

Or John Tenuta. Ron English wouldn't necessarily be a terrible choice, but he will probably stick it out in Louisville for one more year. Louisville was left with a personnel shortage by the Bobby Petrino debacle.

I think the consenus, popular pick is Greg Robinson, and I would be very happy with that pick.

Please tell me you guys aren't talking about the Greg Robinson who was with the Chiefs. He went from bad to worse. His finale was a playoff game in KC against the Colts where the Colts never had to punt once. He was promptly dismissed. His success as DC of the Broncos is beginning to look like the exception not the rule.

That is who we're talking about. The guy just got fired at Syracuse (though he's coaching out the season). He's been in the NFL, had success, and more importantly, he's available.

So you prefer Malveto to Greg Robinson? I like Tenuta, as well. Or do you have another suggestion?

I cant believe anybody would prefer Malleveto over somebody who has NFL experience.

Actually not a bad choice. Would he leave Pitt after only one year (e.g., LSU in 2009 would be his 12th job change in 27 years, although there would be two repeat)?
