Why do people hate Allen on here? He has been a solid DC since he left us and our defense has spiraled downward. The scheme isn't the issue. We had one of the best defenses in the country with the very same scheme he runs. He left. That's why the shite hit the fan.
This completely baffles me. I would take Allen in a second. He made huge improvements at both schools where he was DC. Yet people are scorning him to hire a position coach like McGriff because he do some crootin'. I mean frick. We need a coordinator who can scheme and coach not more fricking recruiters.

We don't have any recruiters fwiw. That's kind of the big issue with wommack and co... mcgriff would be terrible though. The worst I've heard people call in for is Tyrone Nix

I would have been okay with Allen bc I think he's a good coach but I really want someone who brings more of a culture change to the defense and Tom is just more of the same that we've had.

Posters on here don't hate Allen. I'd say people are ver respectful of him.

The issue is a lot of fans want to see Freeze step outside his comfort zone with this hire. Instead of hiring one of his boys, go after someone who can bring a different perspective to a program that needs it
