I'd have to go back and double check this, but I think the short list for II podcasters for DC is Houston, Vandy, LSU. Granted, they said it's a wish list and not necessarily a real option. But any of those three DCs would be a mega upgrade at ND.

Can we just get the entire Houston staff, lol.

I think it was Aranda that they said had PA ties, but they admitted that they hadn't done a ton of research yet. Like you said, it's a wish list. Everybody seems to throw out the same names.

I think you're right about Aranda.

They mentioned that if LSU has a bad season and let go of Miles, Aranda could be on the market too.

Well of course, but he'll be a big fish that everyone wants.

Vandy's DC is head coach Derek Mason, and while they have struggled I imagine he will get through at least year 4.

Again, they were just throwing out names of really good DCs that are on their short list. They weren't saying that ND had any real shot at these guys.

I don't have an issue with dropping linemen into coverage, but IMO for it to be effective, it has to be used sparingly, like once or twice a game. Then line the LB's up on the LOS to make the QB think the entire front seven or eight are coming. LB's have a shorter route to the QB and the O-line doesn't know who they need to block.
This. An can we fix whatever our issue is with the fake blitzing. Putting LB's and DB's at the line leaning in does nothing when they bail out 3 seconds before the snap.

After consulting with my friend TTT, we're prepared to offer you Scott Cochran in exchange for the '66 & '77 titles, plus two morally challenged coeds in Catholic schoolgirl outfits.

You can have a bent rusty nail, and you have to take VanGorder. If the coeds are an absolute deal breaker, maybe we can dress koon and pat up in some outfits.

Send me pics of Koon in plaid and some knee socks and I'll talk it over with Tommy.

Who are we kidding? Saban will stash him in an analyst roll with the rest of the problem children and former high-profile coaches on his staff, and Van Gorder will become Van Gogh, but in defensive artistry.

Horrible tacklers so far: Tranquil, Coleman, Luke, are the ones that really stand out and have whiffed when a good tackle could have made a difference in a win vs a loss. Luke and Tranquil have no excuse. I have seen both make solid tackles last year. what bothers me about these two guys is they walk around like the cock of the walk and they are being more cuckolded than anything. Bench em for the first half against Duke as it shouldn't make a difference against Duke if they are in there or not. When is Watkins getting back?!

1. they have been playing extremely out of control and routinely take bad angles which make it even worse

2. likely going to shut it down for the year per the press conference yesterday and be a healthy starting db

I assumed you guys already claim the 66 & 77 titles, since you claim the 73 title.

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.

Nope. Never claimed either. '73 was won in an era where they considered the bowls as somewhat meaningless and awarded the title before them. Don't blame us. Blame the Coaches poll.

Sure, we beat your ass in '73 and the game is meaningless. We see how you roll! Pun intended.

We'll give back the '73 trophy if you guys will give back the ones you have from years you didn't play in a bowl. It was a different era, different views on bowls, different criteria with the polls.

Depends. If they go 1-7 or 0-8 in the SEC he could be gone. Now if he can pull a 3-5 or better in the SEC, I think that he gets another year.

Kelly said the bad tackling has nothing to do with the fact that they don't do live tackling in practice. In his opinion they don't break down and have bad technique. He prefers if "they get ran over and hold on for dear life"... That's what you're aiming for?

That's Kelly subtly sending another shot across the bow of his defensive coaching staff.

As for "getting run over and holding on for dear life," that's just a funny way of the common defensive coaching mantra "Help is on the way." Rally to the ball.

How about we let you keep claiming half the 73 title if you let us claim half of 2012 since we were #1 after the regular season ended? Titles for everyone!

I have a question

I have a question

As far as a potential return to the league goes, are BVG's schemes valued in the NFL? Would they work well?

Admittedly, I don't watch the pro game very closely.

Did you say Catholic schoolgirl?
