House has never struck me as a smart football coach. I've shifted on his schemes for 2 years now.

I don’t think House is stupid. I think he runs a complicated defense, and that is a lot more difficult to pull off in college than in the pros. You have to be a good teacher and flexible enough to adjust to your roster. We saw this year that he isn’t able to do either of those things, and a complicated read and react defense won’t work at all if the players don’t understand how to run it. He’s just not a college coach and should have stayed in the NFL.

What we’ve seen since the Bama game is what House’s defense looks like when you strip it back to the bare bones. It doesn’t work at all. Any QB with a pulse can move the ball on a vanilla zone with no disguising and few blitzes.
