Its actually very interesting to see that the last school has pretty much the same sentiment about Chinander that a lot of Husker fans seem to have. Supporting that the Husker fans who are skeptical about Chinander are not alone. If you wish to leave your head in the sand and hope that Chinander will grow into a great DC. Go ahead.
I think 3 and a half years as a DC in his career is a little soon to assume he won't ever be a great DC. He's taken over
atrocious defenses both places he's been a DC.
UCF 2015 (pre-Chinander) allowed 37.7 ppg (118th), 464 ypg (116th) at 6.5 per play (115th), and only forced 1.1 turnovers per game (116th). By 2017 those numbers were 25.3 ppg (52nd), 427.9 ypg (94th), 5.7 ypp (70th), and 2.5 tpg (2nd).
Nebraska 2017 was 36.4ppg (116th), 438.1 ypg (101st), 6.4 ypp (113th), and 1 tpg (116th). Currently 28.9 ppg (77th), 401 ypg (70th), 5.6 ypp (68th), 1.5 tpg (63rd).
I'm not arguing that those current numbers are good enough, or that Chinander is for sure a great (or even good) DC. But there is measurable progress, and bringing in another DC won't be a quick fix. He deserves more time, especially considering the personnel challenges at LB which I think has been a major factor in most of our poor defensive performances. Bad run fits and no pass rush off the edge is pretty crippling for any DC.
