Stingtalk shall decide our next DC. VOTE
 
Forget Kelly.

He wore out his welcome at F$U in a very big way. And in some instances, this one included, there is no going back.
 
My thought is if you can't make it as DC with FSU talent, you're not going to make it with GT talent.

Remember Roof got fired as DC with Auburn talent. Auburn who had one of the best defenses in the country this year was bad defensively under Roof.

Why not Coach Mac?

Definitely deserves a promotion and/or raise the way he's recruiting.

DC, he's been on staff for years and our defense has been bad. If he were a great defensive coach, I think he'd influence things and we wouldn't be so bad. I think we need some fresh, outside expertise. But Coach Johnson has better visibility to his coaching than I do.
 
The only thing that worries me about Woody is that he's spent his entire career at Wofford and App State. He has no experience coaching or recruiting in a major FBS conference.
 
Please no Charles Kelly. He won't be any better than leaky Roof. Love what I seen out of Woody's def last night. Would rather lose by being aggressive than dying a slow painful death. My health cannot take anymore of that crap! If we had been aggressive we would probably have won 3 or 4 more games this year. Just my opinion.

This worries me as well. Seems like we have a chance to make a splash hire, and get a guy with credentials and pay him a big time salary if we have to. Make him a head coach in waiting if possible.
 
Is there, at this point, a super rush to hire someone?

Consult Gary Patterson, turn over every rock we can.

Don’t rely on stats - look for a recruiter who has done more with less on the field. Stats don’t always give to real story.

Maybe an NFL underling that could be a HC in waiting.

Let’s keep an open mind.



And get sewak the heck out of town.
 
I may be wrong but I always thought Tenuta got great NFL talent because the players knew their stats would be AWESOME under his scheme. TONS of sacks.

Now, we have been playing soft coverage and aren’t getting much talent.

Like I said, I could be wrong but if you’re a big time LB or DE, what kind of scheme would you want to play in? Hell, Keshun Freeman started 4 years for us and had 8 sacks total. TOTAL.

He wasn’t that bad. The scheme was.
 
He developed talent. They weren’t ranked any higher than what we get today. We either struggle now to identify good players or we ruin the good ones once they get here.

This year was especially frustrating because I truly believe our defense was way more talented than the results on the field.

I’d be totally fine with a house cleaning on the defensive staff. If coach Mac can recruit, then keep him and hit the reset button around him.
 
Please tell me Charles Kelly is not a candidate. Please tell me this is pure fan speculation and not reality. He was *awful* at FSU. Not just mediocre, AWFUL. He had a roster full of NFL talent and performed like he was coaching 2-star talent. Imagine how bad he will be with actual 2-star talent?
