    Background on Newberry

    Somebody can do a deep dive and post more links, but here is a little start.

    Very good defensive stats. I love the turnovers and sacks numbers. Hope it translates to the SEC, bc he doesn't have much high level experience

    Sounds like a great hire. He looks like a bad ass to boot.

    Newberry is a slightly less experienced version of Jay Bateman who was my personal number one pick. I would be fine with Newberry though. The guy is the real deal and I think his scheme gives us an advantage on defense to overcome any talent deficiencies that we may have. And it will be fun to watch like Leach's offense. Navy IMO has a more difficult schedule than Army and Newberry was able to stop a K-State offense with less talent more than Shoop did with more talent.

    Thanks for posting this article.

    I specifically liked this part:

    After posting a 3-10 record in 2018, Navy’s 12th-year coach combed the country looking for a coordinator who could bring to life his vision of a defense that was flexible yet solid, that could baffle opponents yet could be realistically explained and installed in a few months and that would be effective against the option offenses used by Air Force and Army.

    Seems like Leach and Newberry have similar approaches in regards to simple concepts that can be taught and absorbed easily. Yet both have the ability to disguise and look more complicated than they truly are.

    Seems like it might be real good hire. I really like 4-2-5 as a base D.

    With our personnel it should be a lot easier to transition to that than 3-4 or 3-3-5 I'll say that for sure.

    Navy's defense was very aggressive and disciplined. Very good hire.

    Coach Leach has a touch with assistants. I trust his track record. For instance little known DCs that got their start under him: Grinch, McNeil, Aranda. Just to name a few. Leach has had eight assistants that were under him become head coaches.

    And has a history of doing more with less. Navy was dreadful the year before he came.

    Exactly. He coached against a lot of high scoring and fast paced offenses last year and did a great job stopping them. That was after taking over an absolutely terrible navy defense from the year before. I like the fact he likes to attack but his defenses also play disciplined in their responsibilities i.e. not getting caught out of position, maintaining gap responsibilities etc.

    Good friend of mine was DC at Baylor when Newberry was a player. Speaks very highly of him
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    My only question about him is this. Just by getting into the Naval Academy you must be a disciplined squared away young man. So the coaches there don't have to instill discipline in the players. Our team, not so much right now. Can he instill discipline when it isn't there naturally?

    Kids at Kennesaw definitely do not meet those standards and he seemed to do pretty good with them.

    I think there is military discipline and there is football discipline and those two aren't the same things. Despite their well earned reputations I've definitely seen some Army and Navy teams that weren't very disciplined football teams.

    Coaching is coaching. He has always seemed to do it as a DC
    Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

    Like the one Navy fielded the year prior to his arrival.
