He’s likely to be our next defensive coordinator.

I know he was y’all’s DC for a few years including the BCS Championship. He was also the Head Coach at Duke for a few years. Looks solid on paper.

But from your perspective, what’s he like? What are his strengths and weaknesses? How does he recruit? What style of D does he run?

Yikes, my condolences buddy.
Our defense was pretty terrible with him. Nick Fairley barely made up for it

My fricking God. Somebody hired that sorry arse. Dude doesn’t have a fricking clue how to defend a spread offense. Many highly rated football players’ careers were ruined by that man.

He was a good DC when 3 yards and a cloud of dust are what your opponent runs.

Damn... that's some shite I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Better hope you have an amazing offense. You are gonna need it if he is your DC

expect your DB's to line up 15 yards from the LOS on every play. We called it the "leaky Roof" when he was here.

Played for Georgia Tech. He had the best game of his life against Tennessee in 1985 in a 6-6 tie.

I never got so sick of hearing one name during a game in my entire life.

His defenses are great at 2 things.

1. Keeping the ball in front of them
2. Giving up infuriatingly long drives for touchdowns a lot

If it’s 3rd and 6, the corners will give a 7 yard cushion. 3rd and 8, it’s a 9 yard cushion.

Tackling will be horrid.

Angles to the ball will be bad.
