it' no different than willie martinez or brian van gorder.
pressure the qb with a 4 man pass rush (ie. my 4 on defense are better than your 5 on offense), and good things happen.
But if the 4 man pass rush doesn't dominate, then you get van gorder's career after UGA (or willie without 40 sacks like we had in 2007).
we don't need ellis. his defense gives up about 70 more yards per game against the SEC than we currently do this year.

I get what your saying Mean, but his defense would have kept the game from being close given the offense we've had ALL season. Yes and that is with the injuries. THREE games would have easily been won and in the fourth against Mizzou who knows, but I'd take being 11-1 over 8-4 any day.
That happens and we would be the team going to the SECCG plain and simple.
So if Ellis is doable, I'd snatch him up if I didn't see improvement after next season. (Concede to the youth excuse this year and let that rope pull tight the next season if things didn't change.)
Our secondary screwed us. Third down stops were atrocious! And honestly our guys didn't seem prepared at times.

It's his first year - what do you expect? The Iron Curtain? From his AU bio:
quote:
While defensive coordinator at South Carolina, Johnson also served as linebackers coach. In his final season with the Gamecocks, his defense ranked third nationally, allowing just 268 yards per game. Under Johnson, South Carolina finished in the Top 15 nationally in total defense three times. In addition to the 2011 mark of No. 4 overall, the USC defense ranked No. 13 in scoring defense (18.8 points per game) and second in pass defense (133 yards per game).
Plus, we know he won't be trying a HC job again any time soon and he knows all the teams we play. I would jump all over this guy if he came open. He's like Muschamp without all the crazy bullshite.
