If it don't happen by Monday I may start SMH a little. Want him to get a good 'un tho.
I'm sure he is well aware of the status of SEC defenses. I trust him to do what is needed.
Leach knows you can't just win by offense only, in the SEC. He will get a good DC and let the DC handle the defense.
Man I’m with you 100%. This is what scares me the most about Leach. However, the SEC stopped playing defense a few years ago. I was bitching about it then, but now I’m glad. This is a conference not much different than the Big 12. Gotta outscore everybody.
Was 3 or 4 days now going to make a better defense in the fall?
It's known he's interviewing guys. He'll have one in short order.
I'm hoping he's finalizing a deal with Walters. Just crossing t's and dotting I's.
Some guys are absolutely apprehensive about being the DC for Leach and having to coach 75-80 plays of defensive every Saturday. Hopefully we can get a hungry young guy thats ready to be a DC
I expect we'll have a guy by the end of the week.
Yes.. I think the level of blind optimism on here is way too high. I obviously want him to succeed as much as everyone else but trying to be real with myself, and defense was a major question mark of this hire.

Leach has done a good job keeping his defense off the field
Thats vs alot of zone coverage, bend but dont break D's. Those days are overQuote:

Leach ran 6 offensive snaps per game more than we did. It ranked 39th in the country. It's not that big a deal.Quote:

How is he going to scheme up against Alabama A&M and NC State?!?! He's not going to know what to do against powerhouse perennial 7-5 Kentucky!!!! The horror!!! Tulane is going to be so tough!!!! New Mexico has it rolling on defense!Quote:

LMAO ... can't argue with that too much ... that's a pretty good one. At least right now it is. Some of those will probably improve on D tho.Quote:
