I’ve said it a few teams in the 2018 Defense thread but I just don’t get all the hype on Greg. Never have. I just don’t see an elite defensive coach. Not a $1mm defensive coach IMO.

He’s good. He can build up a program and all. It was impressive what he did at Rutgers.

But in 2018 do I see an elite level defensive mind? Sorry but I don’t. He’s ok. Not elite. And I’ve just been very surprised that nobody has ever questioned that. Even after the cluster fuck that was Iowa 2017 when EVERYONE should have caught heat he was never really mentioned and I found that really odd. Still do.

There are several D Coordinators out there who would be getting more out of this talent IMO.

I think most kind of feel how you feel, but are just kind of being patient hoping to see improvement eventually, also this is the first year where he was totally given the defense last year split duties with coombs i believe and the year before it was still Fickell's defense so this is really the first year where he can really be evaluated by us fans and so far the returns are not good lol.

Put Borland's head on Browning's body and this D is completely different

Reminds me years back when Zach Boren volunteered to play MLB and changed the entire defense

You don’t think that perhaps the players are having these issues because the scheme is too complicated and they are thinking too much?

I don't think so. You can't keep this defense much more simple than it is.

Schiano: I will play man to man behind a front that is going to wreak havoc. You will make some plays but so will my defense. In the end, my 11 will win out because I have the better athletes.

Our DC quibbles aside, I have to assume Rutgers will be giving Schiano a call in a couple months...

You might be correct but it would surprise me especially after what happened when he was named the coach in Knoxville. I will be surprised if he ever gets another HC gig in the college ranks. Might get another shot as a assistant in the NFL but that is about it.

Not that knowledgeable enough, like other guys on this board, to judge the talent level on the defensive side of the ball but I do believe that there are better DCs out there. IMO

Wonder if we could trade Ash for Schiano to Rutgers... Isn't Grinch the co-DC? Doesn't some of the defensive woes(especially in the secondary) fall on him as well, or does he get a 1 year grace period(and does the same grace period apply to Johnson, because the CBs have also underwhelmed)?
