Message: [QUOTE="P Vasiloff, post: 3167597, member: 6210"] Just like the head coach takes the heat for the entire team performance , so does the defensive coordinator for how his defense performs. What people have complained about with Ward since he arrived in Syracuse was his utter lack of adjustments to what the other team is doing. Addazio's comments about running the same play thirty times and Syracuse never adjusting to it are probably a big part of the reason why Ward is no longer the DC at Syracuse. If his position coaches aren't doing their jobs, that's on him too. Monroe and Ward have let Foster take the same bad tackling angle for three years that have resulted in some of the longest chunk plays against Syracuse in their history. Yet he still plays and still does it. That is coaching. If he can't do it right, sit him. Believe me, he is not irreplaceable. Hopefully Coach Stanard will learn from the previous mistakes of the guy he replaced. [/QUOTE]
