Vince Kehres: New DC

How about the comment where he says Fran reached out to him several weeks before the end of the season.

Clearly Fran knew that changes had to be made, but you have to tread carefully in-season.

That’s like 4.5 more than our whole team had?

Didn’t Jobity have 5 or more?

He said it was on a Sunday, so must have been the day after a particularly bad day on D. Plenty to choose from, but I'm going with the day after the Georgia Tech game.

I probably stopped watching

Thought this was a really good profile by Chris Carlson

Sounds a little like Pasqualoni at his prime

Big thing is we will once again be recruiting Ohio and honestly isn't a culture shock to NY sans NYC. Ohio State pulls national talent and simply cannot take all in state talents. Ohio kids are tough as nails, take football extremely seriously, and that is truly something we've largely lacked.

So the difference in missed tackles is less than 2 a game?

There were games where it felt like we missed 4-5 on a single play. I wonder how they grade what a miss is.

This is how PFF grades it out

Key Factors in Determining a Missed Tackle:

Opportunity: The defender must have been in a position to make the tackle, close enough to make a definitive stop.
Failure to Finish: The defender makes contact (e.g., reaches out, gets a hand on the runner) but doesn't bring the runner down or significantly impede their progress.

Open Field: Often emphasized in open-field situations where there's no help, making the miss more impactful.
Intent vs. Execution: It's about the result of the attempt—did the runner get away/continue? If so, it's often marked as a miss, even if the defender forced a change of direction.

What's NOT a Missed Tackle (Usually):

Broken Tackles: When the runner breaks a solid tackle attempt (e.g., stiff-arms or spins out of a strong grasp).
Successful Tackles: When the defender wraps up and brings the runner down, regardless of how many defenders were involved (though solo efforts are often highlighted).

Legal Contact Only: A defender missing a tackle but still forcing the runner out of bounds or making them stumble might be a "good effort," but the missed tackle stat focuses on failure to end the play.

In essence, it's a stat for failed opportunities where a defender gets close but lets the runner escape or continue gaining ground, differentiating from a broken tackle where the initial contact was strong but evaded.

does PFF use AI to analyze this or do they actually have people watch every game?

It's a mix, they do say someone or someone watch every game

PFF's college analysis is terrible. I know a few coaches/football people who think it's irrelevant.

 

[Hawknate144]

for what its worth, the majority of people working for the PFF college stuff are themselves College Interns

You guys knocked it out of the park with this hire. Many of our fans wanted him.
