Worst defense since?

Post by Bullnamed_gus » October 5th, 2024, 6:47 pm

Our current defense makes Cauthen’s look like the 2000 Baltimore Ravens.

It’s frankly embarrassing. Being able to score 17 in a half should never have you down 25 in one half. (Maybe 32 by the time we get to half)

Little did we know we had Legion of Boom last year

This is a fair take. What the hell is Dreiling doing each week? This is on him and I don’t think that’s an u fair take on the situation.

They are outclassed at every position. With Boise you either let #2 go wild or you line up 9 in the box like the Aggies started and let their superior recievers and TES eat you alive while the QB eats lunch in the background before deciding which wide open guy to throw too. This strategy has its limits when you have clowns like #11 tackling #2 at the line.

I have no idea but I look at it from a perspective of what each play costs in NIL and coaching salary pool as the baseline. We are probably performing well below that but probably about in line this game where we should be.

That is the baseline coaches need to be judged by.

Yep 17 points on the half against Boise should put you right in the game. You just can't give up 49.

I promise you this isn’t an NIL problem. Plenty of schools with less NIL than us have respectable defenses.

I think Blake had us mired in a downward spiral of mediocrity. It will take some time to recover, but we are now in a position to start the process.

Did Ike Larsen make the trip? Remember when he was going to lead the country in INT’s?

Edit he’s leading the team in tackles… would be nice to get an INT or two.

Of course its an NIL issue to some extent. We have one D1 player on this D although I admit he's digressed. Im sure we are worse than other teams per NIL but my point remains the same.

Gus I think you want to live in the past. Nothing, I mean nothing about the nostalgia you view college football is relevant today. You have to judge relative success through one lens. You rank all the teams based on total NIL plus coaching pool salary per snap.

If you have a culture and a coaching staff that exceeds that criteria you are successful. Of course when a team beats that metric the coach is gone the next year.

That is all college football is now. Bad football and mercenaries.

He hired Banda.

We’ve had nearly an entire defensive team of quality players transfer out- especially at Dline and safety.

Except we lost a lot of dlinemen and safety’s to NIL. We have like 4 players today not playing on defense, some of whom appear to expect NIL (we will see why).
Blake’s 2nd year the entire dline left- to bigger schools. They all left for NIL.

Boise has put up 60 more yards than we have. I'm not watching but that's really impressive for the offense at least.

I'd be curious how the D would look if Dreiling were able to focus on just the D.

It wouldn't be good, but it wouldn't be this bad. He wasn't really given the chance to succeed.

I said in 2022 and 2023 that our coaches were not interested in winning. The tweets and retweets confirm this.

2021 was great. MWC champs, beat OSU in the LA bowl, beat WSU Cougars. Nationaly ranked. BA’s first year. We ended the year with a good defense (Banda) 11 and 3.

Morris actually did that?

I keep seeing people hoping we can retain Morris or Cefalo or random other position coaches with the next staff, but it needs to be a total housecleaning. Not one single person on that staff should be with the program moving forward.

I noticed while rewatching the USU vs. byu game from 2014 that our defense was 4th in the nation in fewest rushing yards per game. I wonder if that will ever be a stat we ever see again. That defense was stacked though. We need some tough kids that just love to fly around.
