4* after proper evaluation...IMO...

[quote]“any dc will do[/quote] Dstone...I'm saying that the paradigm has shifted on what a "good" DC looks like. We will just agree to disagree on whether motivation played a role in how this thing fell off the cliff with Bo. I agree his talent was lacking but I also think there was enough talent...

One thing Dstone mentioned above that I do feel was a big factor for Pellini was his lack of talent/depth. What ended him was that his players showed blatant dislike for him on sidelines and he got a rep within the staff for being lazy. Pellini knows defensive football...he just retired on the job a...

Right. Let me ask you this...do you think a guy like Freeman would've gotten more out of our group than Pellini? Do you think it is because he knows schemes better than Pellini or that he would just be able to get more out of the same guys that shut down on Pellini? I get what your saying and don't ...

The point of my post(maybe poorly worded) is that the profile of a DC that can help you win championships has changed dramatically. The days of Bud Foster are over. You do need a guy who is proficient with X's and O's but the defensive "wiz kids" are getting their butts handed to them these days by ...

The last 7 CFBNCG avg score has been 41-26. '18 is the only losing team that scored less than 20 pts. It's all about offense and I believe the stats bear this out....

Well care to share what you believe is true? ...

When was the last DC that was recognized as being the main cog in a championship season? Venables? Saban?(de-facto DC. Truth is...Jake Peetz will be far and away the most important coach on staff next year. Our DC hire is not irrelevant but its certainly not like hiring DC's in the 90's. We outsc...

I suspect that Kirby's "bag boy' had more to do with that than his "water boy". Maybe they are the same person in this instance?...

Bama "Harvey Updyke'ed" the orchard last night!...

9' goal. Vert was about 15" max...

Another positive...We don't know for sure he will leave in a year or two. That was almost a given with Freeman. ...

Right. Honestly once the Freeman decision-making process was laid out, our guys(SW and O) both knew that N.D. was a more logical choice for him. Now I believe they would've been glad to get him, but they checked all the boxes and got O's guy anyway......

Question is, without going into the "minority hire" part of this...do you think O wanted Freeman more than Nielsen?...

I thought it would be Taysom...I wanted it to be Taysom...sadly now I no longer believe Taysom can do the job. If Hill/Winston are the two choices, I think it should probably be Winston. PLEASE let there be a 3rd option!!...

Whatever happened to Diggs?...

You can fill in the blanks regarding Freeman, but did O get the guy he REALLY wanted the entire time? Something tells me he did. Good for him if true. These two coordinator's will have a direct impact on O's short-term future at LSU. I like both the hires and think it's betting on the upside that g...

He doesn't have near the fire of Days/Williams. He plays timidly which is the polar opposite of the other two. To the original question...unfortunately both are true right now. Until he gets more aggressive, he'll never make a mark on this team. We don't need another 6'9" guy hanging out behind the ...

On the bright side, Ty Montgomery looked pretty darn good when he got touches....

How many people on this board actually know anything about any of these guys that are being mentioned other than what they read here? Exactly! It's laughable the way people on here latch onto a name because some other know-nothing poster posted it! ...
