Not all players are leaders and most must be lead. Plus, you don’t just jump into coaching at this level. Seriously, some of the suggestions are mind boggling — players that have zero coaching experience !? Second— look at who coaches hire for their staff : other coaches within their network. Our previous 3 coaches did it, Frost will too. Look at his current staff— they are all linked to him. Coach Dewitt (assoc. head coach, LB’s, Special Teams)- was UNI’s d- coordinator after Frost. Chinander (DC) coached at UNI and Oregon with Frost Austin (OL) grad assistant at Oregon, played at NU Dawson (DL) connected to Frost through Chip Kelly Held (RB) former teammate of Frost, 17 years in coaching Verduzco (QB) coached at UNI with Frost Raymond (director of player dev) same position at Oregon when Frost was there. Dillon (player personnel) from Oregon also Ruud (qca) player at NU, no coaching experience Haines (off. GA) played at Oregon when Frost coached there Duval (strength) was at NU when Frost played here That leaves 3 coaches on his current staff that he didn’t have ties to. And 2 of them were at UCF previously. Connect the dots. Scott won’t be making any big name, splash hires for assistants. (Regarding bolded point) I agree. I know for myself, that I just long for that tough, defense to make an appearance again. I'm erroroneously thinking that we just need more former Blackshirts around who understand what it means to BE a Blackshirt-like that spirit will rub off on our current players. Well, we'll have some of those on staff but they won't necessarily be coaching. I'm sure these boys will get an earful of what that looks like. So guilty as charged! (I know-'stuck in the 90's' mind set but I'm so looking forward to getting back to being competitive again!) Link to comment

I wonder if Nebraska will do the same and if Frost will bring one of his old jerseys. That would be so cool! Link to comment

I wonder what they would say. I like Venables schemes. he runs a 4-3 base with a "bubble". They also have some amazing athletes and have been putting guys in the league at an alarming rate. They also can develop talent. Some one posted that of the top 8 teams, Clemson currently has 43 (IIRC) blue chip players (4*/5*)....Wisky only has 6, Miami 25 and Bama tops at 69 I believe... Dabo and Co have a definitive scheme on both sides of the ball and have established a culture. Venables came in after Steele was let go after Clemson gave up a record number of points in the orange bowl against West Virginia. In a very short while, Venables turned the D into one of the best in the FBS......... IIRC, he is now making north of a a million........He is great at what he does.... Watch Clemson this weekend. It's not scientific, but the pass the eyeball test. They are fundamentally sound, tackle well in space, fly to the ball, play fierce and with a reckless abandon.... 1 Link to comment

When I heard Riley wanted to run the 3-4 I was happy thinking we'd be very aggressive with it. After it, it's called Blitzburgh for a reason. Well, needless to say I suffered a major let down as the season proceeded. Fellow Steelers fan! I was telling people this before the seasons started - of course it helps when you have the DL and LB the Steelers have. Fast, physical and smart. The whole point of the 3-4 is to cause chaos, make the QB think and rush every play. We never blitzed once under Diaco. The 3-4 doesnt work without a blitz. I love the defense because if your corners are good, the pressure on the QB causes mistakes and when your corners are bad, the QB can't get the through off/your helping contain with the zone. 1 Link to comment
