Are we talking Vikings or Gophers?

Pretty sure that's the Gophers.

 

[ScarletInMyVeins]

Well that sure doesn't give me the "warm and fuzzies"

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

His teams are interception machines.

 

[Bleed S & G]

His teams are interception machines.

Not that year Gophers had 0 picks in '07.. I like Withers a lot from everything I've read... just that year, not the best example of "interception machines"

 

[jwinslow]

I don't think he's going to be working with a defensive depth chart that would kill for Morgan Trent like Minnesota 07.

 

[pnuts34]

Would withers be the DB position coach as well? Idk if that was already stated

 

[Buckrock]

Would withers be the DB position coach as well? Idk if that was already stated

My read? Taver Johnson at DB, Vrabel at LB, Luke Fickel DL.

Fickel and Withers Co Defensive Coordinators. Withers specializes in Game Plan for the opponent, Fickel calls Game day signals.

Are we talking Vikings or Gophers?

Gophers. I've lurked GopherHole and they're pretty much divided on the Withers tenure. Some blame the lack of talent, some blame him for not adjusting his scheme to fit the talent on hand, others blame him for overwhelming the kids with too much pro-stuff resulting in a unit that was reactionary, undisciplined, and always a step too slow.

They unanimously agree he was the worst DC they had in the past 20 years, but that it was a good learning experience for Withers and he grew tremendously under Butch Davis at UNC.

Who fricken cares about minnesota...this man has pedigree...LOL Best of Luck Coach and Welcome to Buckeye Nation.

So when can we start in with the puns involving OSU withering an opponent's offense? Or if our defense plays poorly, stating it is certainly withering.

I wouldn't want to be Fickell about it..Once we start withering down an offense it needs to stay withered down!

 

[scarletngray]

Well, whithers you like it or not, it's a great hire imo. In addition, Tommy schutt the door on PSU, MSU is in the Pitt...man after losing Sevon, and
Brionte made it clear that his commitment to tOSU is a dunn deal.
