Everyone likes to say they don’t play D in that conference, but not enough credit is given to how good some of those offenses are as well. Over the years we’ve seen vaunted Big10 defenses like Michigan St. in the college playoff Get ripped open by good offenses After Diaco/Banker/Cosgrove I'd give a major organ donation to have Venables on our sideline. One can dream... Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Any word on CHinander being a go as DC? I have seen multiple reports speculating he is the guy, but nothing official. Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Another thing to keep in mind is this was year 2 for this team with this defense and DC, and it was his first time as DC. UCF went undefeated but that doesn't mean they couldn't have still been learning and improving. Edited December 6, 2017 by Moiraine Quote Link to comment
husker98 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The defense will be fine. His unit was great this year and only gave up A lot of points to the best teams in their conference. It took really good players to beat chinanders year one defense Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 1:00:00 mark Zatechka references an OWH article about UCF defense was only defense to shut down UCF offense. http://huskerdoctalk.podbean.com/e/2017-episode-20-finally-something-to-believe-in/ Quote Link to comment
ATS Knight Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 On 12/2/2017 at 10:54 PM, The Dude said: I imagine "is Frost willing to fire his buddy" will be a major topic of discussion in the coming years. Sorry, guys. I hope that Chinander is better for y'all than he was for us, but I don't know a UCF fan that wasn't happy to see him go. And this was a progression from the beginning of the season where everyone wanted him to take over if Frost left. But his defense became more about forcing turnovers than stopping scores. For your sake, I hope that the rapid decline over the season was because he was checking out and looking for other jobs rather than other coaches figuring him out. But that's a really sad best-case scenario. Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 As a guy that coached defense for a lot of years my goals were usually pretty simple. Don't let the other team score first No plays over 20 yards No 3rd or 4th down conversions Hold teams under 16 points Force 3 turnovers a game Win The only one I actually cared about was the last one Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Considering a monkey with chalk and a chalkboard could have done the job at DC just as well, I am going to give the guy a chance and time. Quote Link to comment
