THANK YOU that's what felt off about these "previous staff" comments and I just didn't finish the thought to put it into words.
Arnett has been our DC for 3 seasons and now the HC. Leach was famously hands off on that side of the ball. Who made these awful defensive evaluations? Who failed to convince stud recruits he was the DC to play for? I have no idea what % of the blame should go to Arnett but it's definitely not the "previous staffs" fault
Will?s best game in a while and gave us a chance to win. Defense 100% let us down this game. First 2 SC drives start in their own 5 and we give up 2 scores. Get completely out willed on a touchdown in the 4th
Looking forward to the Broncos in two weeks
Leach had very little to do with the defense. I can't imagine he was ordering Arnett to take so and so CB, for example. So who was in charge of defensive evaluations? Who was in charge of convincing recruits to play defense for us? There's just no way to exempt Arnett from any responsibility in recruiting bad defensive players for 3 seasons and/or failing to develop them to where it looks like they're bad.
Correct, no hire will be made this year. But year 2 after we go 4-8? Make a good hire there and we're in business. Well, after 2 years heavy Portal processing and good roster management anyway. And it''' be hard to get a good coach because our program will be in an awful spot, but there will be a good coach out there that would take it. We won't find him, but there's a mathematical chance at least
An offensive minded HC should not have to "emphasize" the importance of the DL to a DC. The DC should already be aware and place extra attention there in recruiting.
Again, unless Leach was micromanaging defensive recruiting and evaluation, some blame falls on Arnett. Not 100%, but some. And that's a bad look when your new defensive minded HC doesn't know how ot evaluate defensive talent
People need to stop drinking!! I couldn't keep up with the game thread tonight, so when I checked it I was like "what are these people watching?" Lol
We played much better than I expected. Defense sucks but we knew that. Rattler is damn good. No way we should have even had a chance tonight if we played like the first 3 games.
I agree with your NIL assessment. If Colorado can go fro ma 1-11 team last year to probably 7-5 this season, and if Zona can made a decent team with Portal guys, I don't see why we couldn't also add legit portal kids too. We don't have less NIL than them. We will always be behind the 8 ball though. I'm talking bowl games here- we will never compete for a championship
Bama doesn't have a QB on their roster than can compare to what we've faced the past two weeks. Now they will probably beat us pretty bad because of the talent gap, but they won't beat us like LSU did.
That's assuming we play better than we did tonight on D and at least as good on offense.
Were going to win 7-8 games
Yes Leach was the HC and it's his job to ensure the D is getting good players. He runs the program. I'm not absolving him of blame. I'm saying the guy who was referred too as the "HC of the defense" didn't do good at his job.
It's like a murder charge- 2 people can be charged with the same murder and both given 20 to life. One of the defendants doesn't get to say "yeah I also shot the victim, but like the murder was the other defendants idea in the first place so I should go free.". Leach AND Arnett failed the D, they both get blame. But one one of those guys is still relevant so yeah I"m more concerned about Arnetts roll in this mess
We have a shot in every remaining game. Other than Bama I would say all the rest are toss ups at worst
What's crazy is Bama is not good and if our defense was just average I would give us a shot. My eyes were shocked watching how bad bama played today
