Shoop isn't a bad coach. However, you can't install a new D and then lose all your starters, all your DTs, and backups and expect to do well. I mean for frick's sake we were forced to put DEs in as DTs and gave up shite ton of weight because we lost all our DTs to injury. The people who need fingers pointed at them are Martinez (dbs haven't improved since the work he did in his first season) and even Thig but not Shoop who called some brilliant games when we still had defenders.

No, you can't install a new defense when you're constantly plugging in new pieces. That didn't stop him from trying to throughout the season, and not tinkering his D to help out his players who were obviously struggling to understand it.
Blame Martinez all you want, he's a terrible coach. Bob Shoop is still a DB coach by trade. Shoop is still at practice every day. He still watches film after every game. How long is it going to take before he intervenes and at least attempts to coach up his players in the defensive backfield? The DBs were still not turning their heads and were getting caught flat footed against Vanderbilt. 12 games into the season and they are making the exact same mistakes individually as they were in week 1. There was no noticeable growth or progression from any DB. If anything, there was regression from Mosley, Gaulden, and TK.
We had no DTs left by the time we made it to the Kentucky game. How many times did you see us leave the Nickel and actually try to stack the box? We almost never did. Mizzou ran the same dive play over and over again and we made 0 adjustments to it. Even after half there was no change in the defensive scheme, we were just bailed out by a few very good individual plays and overall very inefficient offense from Locke and his receivers.
