I would like to see Cal competitive, but the defense has shown zero signs of life and it looks like those woes will continue in 2014.
that's the thing - Dykes' teams never played any defense at La Tech. (if he had any defense at all, that 2012 Tech team would have gone undefeated). You can't out-Oregon, Oregon. Stanford plays defense.
Some of these Offense-only coaches do okay - like Sumlin. Many fail.
I thought the Bielema hire was interesting as heck. It would have been more interesting though, had he gone to a SEC team closer to the SEC pecking order as Wisky is in the Big Ten. I'll still check Arky out a lot this year.

False. Tech had a pretty good defense in 2011. The defense carried them to the WAC championship. 2012 was all about offense and positioning for a better job. Dykes does value defense, I just think that offense makes it hard on a defense. Could be wrong though... some fast-paced offenses play good defense.
