I have to admit I am surprised that Dom Robinson is doing so well in the NFL and that Weatherford is playing
That means last years defense had
2 pros (Robinson and Weatherford)
1 practice squad pro (Brown)
1 camp pro (Boswell)
1 candidate for def player of the year (Pace)
2 power 5 players (Phelps and Butler) doing well
Plus Ertl, Salopek, Saunders, Warren and Bryant
That makes me wonder…no, not really because if you have these kind of players and aren’t winning at least 9-10 games (and throw in another for a bowl win) then it must be the coaching,or so I’d venture to guess.
Maybe that’s why both co-defensive coordinators are gone. The one holdover from last year was the Safeties coach and is now defensive coordinator. There’s no doubt that the new defensive staff is a home run.
