so here's one take... probably less than a handful of schools that would have the passion to dissect a defensive coordinator carousel to such a large degree.  maybe 2.  that's good?

devil's advocate on the good riddance stance:
- there does seem to be some evidence that players "wanted to play for him".
- by at least someone's def efficiency measure, they went from 52 in 22 to 20 in 2023.  they lost a lot of faceoffs and that grinds on a defense.
- lost a presumed close d starter and then another.  then, player(s) forced out of position.
- how many guys start in the top 8? guys anywhere in the acc?  olexxo, aviles and possibly caccamo as a 2nd lsm?
- handled a # of duties outside of coordinating the d.

the jury may be out on recruiting, though?  did he really kill it there?  fig was flipped, tho that was from rutty.  got marks, but not sure if there was competition there.  got wright.  latter 2 were portal.  he could get some credit for culture probably on this front, but the '23 and '24 classes are tbd.
