Great point and I think ND hiring Denbrock makes promoting Mickens to DC a more reasonable proposition. Would be difficult to have inexperienced coordinators on offense and defense. Mickens as a possible DC and likely Freeman being more involved defensively feels better with offense being ran by a coach with Denbrock's ability and experience.
Give him a raise and make him Co-DC with Al. And/or AHC
I'm certainly not sold on Satterfield, but I think it was a hard year to come into a new program that was moving up in conferences. Satterfield did real well at Appy State. He turned Louisville back to a respectable team after the 2-10 Pettrino/VanGorder debacle of 2018 (Part of which was a result of poor recruiting that led to them starting almost an entire defense of Sophomores if I remember). Half of Cinci's losses this year were 1 score games, the blowouts came against the better Big 12 teams. All but like...2 of their starters on offense last year were transfers coming into a new system, right? Half the defense too.
It's still very much early into crazy season, but I don't see Golden going anywhere this offseason.
I'm guessing we will probably miss Bertrand more than most people think.
I think Kiser's pretty damn close. J D is better but not by much.
I'm not even referring to Bertrand's ability to make tackles. He's been the quarterback of the defense and a two time captain. I'm guessing his absence will be felt.
I agree 100%. I think he will be missed more than we realize. I hope I'm wrong.
I remember reading that Brown kept people lined up in the secondary and that was one of his more critical skills
I think it may have been Irish Illustrated, but I definitely recall someone talking about how Bertrand was a guy who was more locked into his own role and responsibilities whereas Kiser went out of his way more to be a teacher.
That must have been what Huston Griffiths did as well.
For DC or a DB coach? If the latter, it seems like a no-brainer that we should match whatever money they'd offer and there wouldn't seem to be any other reason he would go there.
It makes me wonder. Was Kelly SO disliked that they wouldn’t give him what was needed?
Agree, I think the school not being prepared for Kelly leaving forced them to either step forward or back. Glad they are taking a step forward
It’s all in the delivery.
Should be #1
Phil Parker is the one guy who deserves to be above him.
