Looks like USC will offer Batoon $2 million. I didn't realize Batoon had deep California roots. Assuming this happens, who do we target as the next DC?

Are we not matching? If not, why not?

We could match and surpass easily. But I didn't realize Batoon had those CA roots. But you're right, we should shut this shite down instantly.

But if Batoon wants the CA sunshine, we grab the Western Michigan DC/Safeties Coach for about 1.5 Million.

If he wants to go that's one thing, but if it's a numbers game then I would like to hear why we wouldn't match, especially with the additional $4 million for coaches.

Hope he stays, but it is what it is.

Not to be that guy ...

But if he wants to leave, okay.

There is somebody on staff that is a defense whisperer ... went from Odom to Baker to Batoon and defense has been solid.

Also Batoon runs too much soft zone and isn't very creative in disguise/blitz/man techniques.

Find the whisperer and promote him.

It's just that easy. Problem is, if this whisperer has been whispering too quietly then how do we know who the whisperer is?

Truthfully, if Batoon leaves, Drink should throw a bag at Brandon Hall (safeties - Oklahoma) to be our next DC ...

Studied under Venebles and would actually upgrade our secondary

You offer Mark Stoops the job and move on. Nothing changes up front and the safety play will get better immediately because Yaro will follow Batoon.

Or this. And Hall.

Somebody has to fix the secondary

Ask the players

Which players? The ones on their way out or the ones on the way in?

My point: if you have an opportunity to retain some stability, then you do it. He's done a damned good job here. Pay the man.

Ask the outgoing; they have no skin in the game so they should be the most honest about who they listened to/trusted.

Perhaps. Still, I prefer that he stays.
