Rgardless of what happens to the offense, that D is going to be good enough to keep them in games. Those boys are flying and very well could be an elite unit by seasons end. Kind of crazy to see where they are now vs. where they were when he first got there.

Definitely the smartest hire de Boer has made.
Grubb though…

Yeah, if Grubb doesn't get any better, he's going to have to do something about that problem at the end of the season. Can't have the D constantly bail him out every season.

KW is my favorite member of the Deboer staff with Grubb at the opposite corner. The latter two are so closely joined at the hip that I have little hope of him being shown the door, which is a poor reflection on KD.

Grubb could have run it down UK's throat all day if he wanted to. They did some in the second half, but good grief.

Ark could have hired Kane in a blink, yet they hired a clueless G5 coach who's own fanbase wanted him canned.
Can't make it up.

Bama defense is legit. And Russell will just get better. This will be a difficult out on the playoffs

I always thought he was who y'all needed.

He's becoming a star who will get P4 head coach looks which is interesting to say because he was South Alabama's head coach before reuniting with Deboer at Bama
Was a slow burn for him at Bama to get positive recognition, 80% of the time he's one of the best DCs in the sport then there's the Rose Bowl and Florida State and Pavia Year 1
His defenses tend to struggle against spread veer and shoot and RPO teams with athletic QBs but generally most good defenses struggle against those because they're so hard to prepare for in just a week's time

I think he definitely would have taken it.
Hell, Arkansas should have kept Petrino and paired him with a good defensive coordinator. He basically got punished because Pittman left him with an absolute shite show on defense. The offense kept Arkansas in nearly every game last season. If they had even just a slight pulse on defense, they would have won some of those games they lost.

The defense is the only thing that gives me a real spark of hope about this team right now, I have missed our old school defense. Offense has a way to go…lots of talent, just the execution and experience is lacking. I think Russell will improve with the season, though. I don’t see him being a repeat Milroe, thank God.

Alabama and Deboer were ridiculed here for hiring Wommack. He was from South Alabama and he would never cut it in the SEC. That was the most popular narrative.

Went to high school with Kane. He was an upperclassmen and always a good dude with me.
Glad he’s having success. We should have hired him. His pedigree as an assistant and brief stint at SA is far better than the dipshit we just hired.
His pops was a solid coach for us and one of the big reasons for Nutts moments of success at Arkansas.
