Did he ever explain the 3 man fronts? Was he trying to stop the vaunted AU passing attack?

My GUESS is that he wanted better flow. Set your linebackers back, hold up at the line, let the LBs and secondary flow over to stop the various outside and option runs. Don't let a break through the line result in a huge gainer. Something along the lines of a good LSU defense (not a Bama style); counter the run with speed.

Obviously didn't work.
