You're looking at some of these things in a vacuum.  The assumption players get better is a fallacy to some degree.  Some players get better, some players get bigger/stronger/faster/"larger", some players learn the position at a higher level.  Some don't, some even regress.

Film study doesn't instantly improve the ability of all players.  If it did, people wouldn't complain about Cordy every week.  Or see our defenders get beat, tricked, fall victim to the same plays over and over.  Watching film and then executing on the field are such drastically different things for a variety of reasons.  Even practicing doesn't correlate to improved play for all players.  Recruiting matters, recruiting players who've played at high levels matters, recruiting smart players matters.

The DC has zero history of success at that position.  He only has a history of some of the worst defensive numbers over multiple categories in every single year he was in that position.  The D had one very good game and one very poor game.  There hasn't been one thing that suggests he's the answer and will improve our defense.  We need to hire a real DC.  I have a bad feeling about the next couple years if we don't.
