My main hope is it’s a 3-4 DC like Leonard. I absolutely hate the 4-3, it’s just not flexible enough in personnel for spreads

I gotta say, odd fronts (not necessarily 34 but just anything with 3 or 5 linemen) were a problem for Alabama in pass coverage this year. Teams repeatedly attacked outside backers having to check to covering inner receivers against some alignments. We did better in even fronts where the best pass rushers could pass rush and not get dragged away from the QB due to responsibilities on backs and inner slot guys in 3x1 alignments.
