I know we blame Todd Grantham because of our lackluster Defense. Not making excuses but our guys miss a lot of tackles. Herrera and Wilson seems as if they can't get off a block, and don't try. Not making excuses but Grantham can only coach them up. The players have to make the plays. On most run plays I count at least 4 missed-tackles per play.

Isn't it the job of a coach to teach them to wrap and tackle?

IMO, he is to blame when you think about this year and last year together.

Herrera is one of the few players on defense who has played worth a shite. I don't know what games you have been watching...

Nope. You're wrong. Grantham has got to go.

Reasons to blame Grantham.
1) Its his job to coach up the defense...he is not.
2) Its his job to come up with a good defensive gameplan every week...he hasn't come close...5 31 pt games and counting
3) Its his job to coach fundamentals....tackling...shedding blocks...reading plays...he def has fricking not
4) Its his job to recruit for his system...if the guys are not up to standard...again his fault.
5) Its his job to develop talent....I remember a few times last year where we should have subbed in alot of the guys that are starting this year...he didnt.. He only cont'd to pad the stats of the 7 guys who were either graduating or we KNEW were going to to the draft...either way...terrible.
6) Its his job to monitor his underlings...beside Wilson, the new guy, the other defensive coaches have eaten a big dong.
7) He has yet to take any blame whatsoever and continues to "We arelearning" bullshite he has been feeding us through 1/2 the season...now that we are officially heading into a Dec 31 bowl...maybe then the d will be ready ?

Dont come inhere and say dont blame Grantham. frick off

Tackling and wrapping up are useless when you can't cover receivers on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and sometimes 4th down....Grantham's defense is way to complicated to be teaching to college kids who have to deal with classes and such! Nice try though! Watch a game sometimes you might learn something!

Nobody is ever to (blame) in our organization. Its where coaches can come get paid to basically vacation at a university, without worrying about getting fired. Its the perfect job really.

Tackling is a fundamental that one loses if one does not practice good technique on a regular basis.....I think the D spends so much time working out the complicated scheme that Grantham insists on (and has no other scheme at all when the one he knows fails) that we are not fundamentally sound. That is squarely on the shoulders of the DC....
