Need a new OC, Co-DC, and Special Teams Coordinator at a minimum

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I've never seen a successful Co-DC ran defense.

Exactly. Remember when LSU under Miles had one Coordinator calling plays for the front 7 and another one calling plays for the secondary?

that was fricking hilarious.

We had a decent defense with Partridge and Durkin as co coordinators.

Keep partridge for recruiting purposes and bring in someone who can call a creative defense.

That's because Partridge wasn't calling any plays. We gave him that title to justify paying him more.

Anyone with a DC title that refuses to make any adjustments at all doesn't need that title anymore.

our 3-3-5 did very well the last half of the 2021 season under Durkin once our transfers developed chemistry. They actually helped win us games when our offense began to sputter around the same time.

Plenty of teams have had success with the 3-3-5. MSU being one of them.

Our problem is we're lacking talent on the front and competent coaching. Watching our defensive backs line up with a 12 yard cushion every single play was more than frustrating.

Agree with these statements. Kiffin's offense tends to get too much credit and Durkin's D too much criticism. Also, LSU won a title w/ co-OC's.

Our problem with defense for the last decade has been a lack of LB depth. We've had a decent one here and there but we have lacked 3-4 solid guys. That needs to be fixed if we ever want to have a decent D.

the most glaring difference between the two defenses is we played aggressive and swarmed in 2021. We were a read/react defense this past season and were constantly playing on our heels.

Well looks like we will be wholesale reinventing our defense from scratch
