Peter Sirmon could've taken those two teams and looked good.

Bob Shoop's '19 team was 10th in the conference and the next time he was DC anywhere was USF in '22 where his team was the worst defense in the nation. Todd Grantham fell off a cliff at FL after a decent first two years.

Arnett had us consistent with probably the worst overall talent we've had on defense in the last 20 years. His HC tenure was horrific but he is a good DC. I realize HC rankings are always very opinionated but in mine Moorehead was head and shoulders worse than Arnett and it's not even close. Look at how well he did with the talent we had in '18. The man was carried by talent. He's now 4-20 at Akron. What he did to our program was and is far worse than Arnett not even finishing the year. By the way I actually like the guy just not as a HC.
Moorhead and Arnett are the same. They both took offensive systems that worked and trashed them because they thought they could do better. Moorhead was just propped up by a legendary D.
