No, the answer is to let our new head coach hire the DC he thinks he needs and for everyone yapping about this guy or that guy to get the frick over it. National coach of the year... and message board geniuses think they know better than him.

Its really amusing, isnt it. The pearl clutching has been insane. This isnt even like politics where you have a vote and can run for office. This is people freaking out about something they have ZERO control over.

People are acting like Glen Schumann and TRob are Sabanesque, Kirbyesque defensive wizards. Those same people conveniently forget that both Saban and Kirby defenses have both been torched by good offensive teams and they arent infallible. TRob and company's defense only had to stop Michigan driving the entire field to score a touchdown to beat Michigan and couldnt do it.

Minter, a guy with no Saban ties and much lower ranked recruiting than Bama, fielded a superior defense with a more effective scheme.

Washington, with far less talented players, held Texas to less points than TRob and Co in neutral site than Bama did playing at home.

Things arent just as simple as Saban defense good, everything else bad.
