We’re won by head coaches with a Defensive background/ pedigree. 8 out of the past 10 national championships FCS division were also Won by a head coach with a Defensive coordinator/ background. Offense wins & catches the eye , but Defense wins championships.

You sure?
Harbaugh, Day, and Dabo are all offensive background coaches. That's at least 4 of last 10 right there.

Funny...the best FB team to ever come out of BR was an offensive juggernaut. Defense got stops when they needed to but that team was simply impossible to stop.
Not diminishing your point but the reality of today's game is that you have to score points. Lots and lots of points.
