My how the worm has turned since the first few pages of this thread. Let's dump this outdated POS DC.

Good thing BVG is too big time to recruit so none of them have to talk to him

Recruiting is one reason I wish they would shit can BVG now. At least if a few drop we can backfill. Or who knows, perhaps some didn't commit because of BVG and will jump on.

The danger with firing BVG now is that the interim will be someone on staff... and if the D shows even moderate improvement, given BK's disposition to hire his own, chances are the interim will get the permanent gig. Next thing you know, its the Clay Helton scenario.

I'd rather just ride out the season and hire someone good once the big time candidates hit the market.

I honestly think that recruiting could improve in ND gets a big name DC early. Lord know BVG cant/doesnt recruit... so really it could only stand to improve.

No reason to delay the inevitable. Get BVG out and get first crack at other DC's who become available for whatever reason.

Can Sanford coach defense? I'm half kidding. I got super tilted when they had the fourth down stop and he didn't even come out with any excitement. I remember the fist pumping memes and while I didn't expect that.. you know he's a fiery and passionate guy. Seems like the writing is on the wall and he's no longer invested. Cut your losses.

BVG should be fired tomorrow. I don't think there is any value to letting him finish the season. I think we will lose more recruits if we let him stick around than if we fire him tomorrow.

Agreed. He's a single handedly sinking this program into the Weis era. If I was a recruit the worst thing BK could possibly do is not fire this incompetent moron.

Fire this mother fucker now. Like right now.

Did BK really say that the defense is the least of his concerns right now? My god man...

Not completely accurate. BK said they were going to try some different personnel on defense. What he said was that he actually felt better about the defensive coaches/coaching after this game.

Yes he did.

I've been a big BK supporter for awhile. Thick and thin type stuff. Nitpicked here and there, but always wanted to stick with him. That quote single-handily is changing my mind. Three years of BVG defense has given us an average scoring defense ranking of 70+ nationally. That's fucking inexcusable given the talent on this team. How many games has the offense put up 30 or more points only to lose the game? It has to be a ton. If BK can't see that BVG is a major MAJOR problem to this program, then he deserves to lose his job as well. This team, if shit doesn't get fixed fast, is a 5-7 team. 5-7!!! With a first-round QB....

But yet it was still Duke's best game against a D1 school. They score 14 points against Wake Forest and 13 points against Northwestern. I am calling BULLSHIT.

I'm done holding my peace I'm done with this bullshit we have the talent to fucking tackle. Fire BVG. I'm on the bandwagon.

They're talking to Rochelle in the post game right now. Rochelle says they like what VanGordor is doing right now, says coaches are doing a good job. How much of this is a captain taking blame, and how much is it defending a lame duck?

Is there anyway to steal Greg Maddison back from Michigan? He isn't even the d coordinator.

What about Luke Fickel?

To answer the question in the thread title . . .

When we give up 45pts to a crappy Duke team and drop to 1-3 after a 45-42 loss.

No love for the prediction here? Not saying I knew just felt like it could very well happen and did. Was off by 7pts per team, so 38-35, instead of 45-42. Time to fire him Kelly

Lol. As Duke was kicking the winning field goal, I was thinking about your post. Nice call.

No thank you!

He showed what a fraud he was in his one year under the helm before Urban took over. You had two decades of .900+ ball with one 7-5 year sandwiched in the middle with shit defense. Urban has kept him on in name only for a reason. He's destined for a lower half of the Big10 HC job like Maryland where he'll flame out after 3 seasons.

I wasn't talking about head coach. Was talking about defensive coordinator.

The biggest issue, along with many others, is the lack of wrapping up. I will never understand the whole "let's run into the ball carrier with our shoulder and hope they fall down." I know every defensive player wants to lay the "boom" on a guy but man it's pathetic to watch when the ball carrier just bounces off them or runs through the arm tackles.

The whole defensive staff just need to get back to the basics and teach simple fundamentals and I promise better results will come.
