We have the Worst Defense in College Football

That would be correct sir.

quote:

---

O thought he was a good hire and still makes excuses for him, and Pelini obviously sucks arse. So who takes the fall?

---

O can’t ignore the obvious. I doubt we struggle on defense vs USCe but if we continue to be a disaster on defense, Bo will be sacrificed. O’s not falling on his sword for anyone.
You would have thought he learned a lesson about properly vetting a coordinator hire but apparently not.

Yep. We made this Mike Leach Air Dud offense look like world beaters.

quote:

Woodward gave him the terrible contract he has,

. That contract was for O. Nothing more and nothing less. He said, “Look at 2019 and if you want us to keep moving forward, I need a proven DC. Just let me manage my team”. Woodward is giving him what he wants and he wanted Bo. That’s on O and on Woodward for catering to him because of 2019. If it did t work out, O would have had an excuse. If he did, he has a way to get rid of both...

O obviously still believes in the fire & brimstone approach creates a great defense over great technique, fundamentals & an intellectually based scheme. This explains his infatuation with Pelini & his subtle jabs at Aranda.

Such a ridiculous contract to give a guy to leave Youngstown State.

Shouldn't have been so all in on a guy so dated.

Better off hoping he turns it around, because I can't see how they eat that contract.

You hit the nail on the head. Scott and Ed.

Ed gets credit for the piss poor selection. Scott gets credit for the insanely lucrative contract that everyone called extremely overpaid the day he was hired.

He was making 214k a year at Youngstown state and Woodward gave him a 3 year - 2.3/year fully guaranteed contract. That’s a fricking retarded contract and has to raise some concerns.

Should have started at 1 mil / 3 years and went to a max of 1.5.

Also these fully guaranteed contracts have to go. It should have been a buyout of 1 mil first year, 750k then 500k.

We could be out of this experiment for 2.5 this year but if we fire Bo now it’ll cost us 6.9.

It’s a pathetic excuse for a contract and anyone who defends Woodward over it is doing it because they hated Alleva that much

pelini has to take the fall, not so much because he doesn't know how to coach on the field, but because he has lowered morale on the team to such a low point that it won't recover. simply put, they hate him and orgeron has let it happen - for whatever reason.
