I am with you. I understand Missouri’s defense improved in that one year, but so did their offense. And when your offense keeps the ball away from ur opponent, ur defense always has better stats.

I am not opposed, but are we convinced he is the best? I want the best DC we can get.

Outside of Jim Leonhard, who is realistic with a clearly better resume? Even Minter at Michigan is just on his 2nd season as DC.

That’s true if it’s a ball control offense, but the inverse is true if it’s a quick-strike high scoring offense. Joe Burrow and company were partly responsible for our defense’s bad statistics. That was an excellent defense but they labored under two handicaps - one was that they were not on the bench for long, and the other was that the other team was always desperate to score.
