So your theory is he was secret probationed? He isn't good enough to be DC but he is can't miss here? Also he has dealt with SEC level talent the last 25 years. He would be in for a shock here.

With SEC level talent DCs can get occasionally just have the front 4 rush the passer. At SU that just allows the QB to eventually pick you apart. With SEC level talent DCs can expect the Ss to fly up and make tackles in space, or be used for contain on running plays. At SU that leads to missed tackles and big plays.

That is part (just part not the whole) of the problem we had with ERob. It wasn't that his scheme lacked being sound. You just needed great talent for it to be effective.

Having a DC that does not have experience coaching up talent will have to scrap what they know and duct tape their system to fit the talent they have to work with here. Not all DCs can make that change. It isn't a lack of knowledge or play calling ability, but being able to pivot to what you have to work with.
