Definitely want to see us change to an aggressive attacking style. Create havoc. This passive, sit back in a zone and try to take the ball away like gentlemen...no mas!

Yeah. The thought was that it works in college because college qb's aren't good enough to work their way down the field without making a drive killing mistake. Well apparently ACC qb's with ACC olines and ACC skill position talent are good enough.

There is a reason NFL teams stopped using it. QBs don’t make many mistakes these days, college or pro, unless it’s Winston at Tampa Bay, and the rules are so in the offense’s favor.

Yeah. It only works with elite personnel. Tampa bay had that but not enough offense to complement it. Indianapolis had it with their pass rushers, but that's all. I always thought Indianapolis hurt themselves in the playoffs by running it too much. The concept of Manning getting a lead and forcing teams to keep up worked great in the regular season, but in the playoffs they were bound to meet up with someone (most often the Pats) that would slow their offense down enough or use the running game to exploit the soft Indy middle. I wanted more sucess for Freeney and Harrison.

Why not dip into the FCS ranks? How about Corey Hetherman from JMU. Had a great defense this year in his only year there and had great defenses at Maine before that. Plays the 4-3 and focuses on stopping the run. Only in his 30’s.

Surprised Clayton White’s name hasn’t resurfaced.

Id take him at this point. WKU wasn’t bad in the bowl game against WMU

What's Charlie Strong doing?

He's too expensive for us!

 

[Whitey23]

He's too expensive for us!

USF owes him ~$2.5m per year over the next two years. He can go where ever he wants.

Feels like there is some "chicken little " kinda kvetching going on in these threads. Sure it's a kick in the junk as to what happened with our DC but there is plenty of coaching talent, the AD is willing to cut a check and contrary to some people's belief the sky isn't falling. Relax...see where things are once the dust settles.

Honestly, could care less about Arnett and him not being our DC. What’s really annoying is the fact that our actual DC could’ve been hired and recruiting for us already. That’s what pisses me and probably everyone off. Not worried about finding a comparable DC out there. It’s the timing.
