Charles Darwin Starter

The players weren't executing the scheme. You could see defenders arguing with each other after big plays all the time.

The fact that idea is new, is a bit shocking.

It's not like at that level you're gonna be clueless to others' jobs

11 guys on the field at a time and all need each other. Makes total sense.

There were so many blown coverages last year. Hopefully this helps.

Blown coverages and poor/lazy tackling.Assignment sound is music to my ears!

I don’t think he was a bad assistant or position coach, but struggled as DC.

I don’t think he will coach for a year, but wouldn’t be surprised if SUU called.

Bad coaching, IMO. Even with lesser talent you can be fundamentally sound.

That’s on coaching. You might be able to blame it once or twice on players

If you've got 1 guy missing assignments, fine, you've got a personnel issue.

Yes, they were. The complaints about guys guarding grass go back several years.
