And you seem to forget something, it's not just what we run but he has to determine the correct read for the plays the offense is running against us. And Auburn and A & M are not exactly simple offenses to recognize.
In that instance I wouldn't bash Dan for how he played the safeties. For example, I praised Dan for the changes he made this week with the two back sets early in the game. If he does what I am asking him to do with the personnel, there is no reason for me to bash him for that and I would be happy to see him try to make some adjustments for the better. If I am wrong I guess I would just eat crow, but so far this year I haven't had to do that yet.
