Cosgrove....not sure what to think. Is it the players not executing or his defense. I think its both, however I tend to lean and overall think its his predictable schemes. To be honest...I have NEVER been a fan of his.
I cringe(d) everytime I seen the LB's moving up into the box to show blitz. It was to the point I was screaming "Don't blitz! Don't blitz!" I made a post on another forum one time showing what Coz' defenses ranked when he was at Wiscosin vs. what NU's was prior to and after his arrival. Needless to say, he doesn't have a very good track record (you can go
here to see his rankings from the past but for some insight, in '03 NU finished 11th in Total Defense and Wisconsin finished 43rd...in 04 we finished 56th...Wisconsin finished 9th :angry: ) although I'm willing to give him at least one more year to see how things work out.
