Rate the DC hire

An offensive mind like CML knows what he likes and doesn't like in opposing defenses and ML has seen a lot of them and a lot of DC's .... even if it's 3rd or 4th choice I'm siding with Leach because he knows way more than most of us about this.... Starting with A+ just for the out of the box thinking

I will always defer to CML when it comes to offense. On the defensive side though, he is certainly open to being questioned. Its not like he has never hired a bad DC because he has. Hoping this works out well and on paper it looks pretty good but just hard to know how much total input Arnett had in actually running the defense at SDSU. Plus its a new scheme for us, so there may be a transition period and I am not certain we currently have the personnel to run a 3-3-5 at a high level. I think most thought we would be stronger this year on the DL than in the secondary.

I will let you know his grade sometime in November. I'm still just enjoying not having to sit through another season of Moorhead.

Honestly probably a solid "B" it is going to be a fun type of defense to watch. Going to give up some big plays, but should have lots of TFLs and takeaways to balance it out. If we can become a turnover type defense with Leach on Offense we may score alot of points. So from the perspective I see why we did it.
