    Arnett back in at DC.

    The axe side curls down so you can grab the adversary around the neck and you can use it to climb walls, as a grappling hook."

    Underwhelming but better than Hutzler by miles.

    Which means in some crazy what if scenario if we had kept Arnett as DC when Lebby came we would probably be 8-4 this year. Arnett is a legit DC.

    I'm gonna say this, and some of you guys are going to disagree and that's fine. Arnett never wanted the situation that he was put in. This is a chance to make some of that stuff right in my opinion. He loved it here as much as any coach we've had in recent history. There wasn't a person on this board that didn't like his defense before he was hired as head coach And his defenses were awesome considering the amount of recruiting red tape he had to jump through with leeches staff

    I think it shows how hard it is for us to attract established coordinators/coaches.

    Peterson will not be in his ear. Arnett as DC was not bad. He had top #40 defenses. If we had a top #40 defense this year we would be going to a decent bowl game.

    Better than 50% chance this whole staff will be slamming the trunk after next season.

    I advocated for Lebby to bring him back when he first got here. He would be good for Lebby too. Somebody that will get on his a$$ when he's making dumb in game decisions.

    No, the odds of us making a bowl game next year just went up exponentially. Hutz shitty defense cost us at least two games this season. Upgrade the OL and this offense with KT will be electric.

    I would say hiring Arnett will get us in a better place. Tell me the last DC we had that was better than arnett?

    Yep. Especially with a HC on a warm seat.

    We know what we are getting. A proven DC. Pressure on the QB will return and the Blitz is back.

    Spot on man. The vision is just cloudy right now because of how the situation ended, but he is a good DC. Would I have liked some of the other candidates that was thrown around? Absolutely. Who wouldn't? But I'm happy with Arnett. His defensive numbers speak for itself.

    Very true. Especially if they are worried Lebby is on the hot seat. Makes it that much harder and it's hard enough as it is.

    Fans need to realize no rising DC was coming here to get shown the door after 1 season. Our options were very limited. Throw the same DC numbers with someone else?s name and we would be very happy right now.
