WHY WE NEED A DEFENSIVE HEAD COACH!!

[SOCALHUSKER]

'Disappointing' describes 'D'

 

The stats on this article are pathetic. How our defense has fallen so far off the national map is ridiculous. We need a defensive coach to right this ship, and quickly!! I'm a big fan of Pelini, but I don't care what they have to do as long as it changes. They could bring in all the former Blackshirts they can and practice that way, I could care less as long as we aren't the 119th best run defense and 107th overall. That sh@t is unacceptable.

Even if Nebraska had half those defensive rankings, I would say that was unacceptable.

Potter's view might be part of the problem: Gee wiz, if you look at stats then people might think we are awful.

 

News flash big boy: The D is awful. Horrid. Set new standards for Bad. Worst in history.

I agree with this whole heartedly. We need someone to come in here and rejuvenate the blackshirt mystique. When I was a kid and you would see those defenders walk to the line holding hands that was such a cool sight to me as they were intimidating as hell. We need someone who can shape them up. Bring in an offensive mind for Coordinator (like callahan should be) and go from there. The old saying is still true Offense wins games Defense wins championships!!!

That's what I don't get, how do they not know that they are that bad? Do the coaches not say anything to them or do they just ignore the facts. Either way, this is terrible. Every week we hear the same thing about needing to make a few adjustments, but the bottom line is they're aren't making any.

Maybe in Callahanland and the Cosgroveforest they are but not in reality. (sorry my mind is a little warped from south park last night)

The last few coaches that NU has had were offensive coaches. During the glory days of the 90's, TO was HC.

 

You don't have to have a defensive HC to have a good defense--you just need to have the right guy running the defense. It also helps to have an offense that can maintain possession.

W/O great recruiting the defensive head coaches programs go up and down.

1. Tressel, offensive coach with a great recruiting base in Ohio. He hires great DCs, but his offense is versatile and meshes to talent.

2. Carroll, used to DC is own defense, last two years has given it to Holt. Holt's defenses don't produce TOs. Offense has been run by Chow, Kiffin and now Sarkesian. They run the WC offense, but with a zone running scheme, so they are more like the Broncos than the 49ers of old. Face it, he has CA and the entirenation to draw from, and gets to 5 classes each year.

3. Stoops is a coach that has hired his brother, and Venables. Mike was a great DC, OU defenses under Venable and Pelini are no where near those that Mike had. Offense has evolved from spread to a more multiple offense with the power I and 3 TE sets. Despite losing Leach, Mangino, Long, he has managed to develop some top notch college QB, while Bomar was the only big time QB recruit. This guys has the state of Texas as his base and the nation.

I think these are the three best coaches there are. I'm a UT grad and a Mack Brown hater! He is to much like a politician, but he wins big, while he waters down his non-conference schedule and is a glass is half full guy. He is known for not developing talent and is the beneficiary of sitting in the goldmine of the big 12/Austin and the top recruiting state in the nation. Texas produces more D1 players than any other state! His defenses range from average to great, and the same for his offenses. He has never won any sort of title in 23 years, save for what he was "gifted" by VY! He is John Cooper and Phil Fulmer, a great recruter, but not a great coach. He is another offensive minded coach, and his offenses have usually been known for putting up points, but dying in the big games.

I'm not talking about any other program, I'm talking about Nebraska. I could care less about Ohio State, Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Tennesee or whoever else you think wins because they have more talent. I wanna see a Blackshirt team that plays with some intensity and flies to the football. When are we going to learn that defense wins championships. Yes, TO was an offensive coach but he relied heavily on his defense to force turnovers and put up defensive points, and I guarantee you he didn't have any Rivals or Scout Top 10 recruiting classes. He won it with guys who bought into an aggresive system and played every down with their heart and some nuts. I'm sick and tired of seeing this years defense get run ragged by the same f@*ken plays week in and week out. We need a change and a change that should include a defensive head coach. We can always bring in an offensive mastermind to put a few pts on the board. What we can't do right now is stop other teams and that needs to be halted immediately!!

You need a guy that can RECRUIT! I don't think they are gonna hire Gill, and the next guy has to hire great staff and bring back some old school NU things, but they must be able to bing kids to NU. The system that Devaney/TO put in place kept NU, if it's not gonna be put in place, then you better bring in some great talent! I was showing that other programs are good in part because of locale, which NU does not have!

[junior4949]

We did hire a guy who could recruit and look how that's turned out for us!

I get what you're saying. I just think people think that because we supposedly had a good recruiting class that we would see great results on the field. The reality is those recruiting class rankings are a joke and people need to realize that, we just happened to find out the hard way. I'd like to see some stats on the records of the last few years top recruitng classes, can anybody come up with those? We do need to RECRUIT that's for sure.

Thank you!!!! FFS, we have a recruiter who can't do anything with the recruits! I'd rather have a good coach!
