re: What happened to House and this defense in one year?

I think House got scared by all the issues we had and went so basic and so soft that we got killed. Then as his defense got killed it made the guys on the field look even worse, so he continued to go softer and more basic

Regardless, a good coach learns to disguise his deficiencies. Yeah, we were down some key players, but no reason for how out of position and lost players were on defense. And don't forget the poor tackling was inexcusable. Our defensive players did not lack so much in the way of talent that they gave up 300+ yards to Grambling unless there was a seriously flawed defensive scheme! Rumors about House having the players turning on him was the absolute final dagger!
