Opponent Touchdowns by Quarter:

1Q: 2
2Q: 6
3Q: 1
4Q: 1 (excluding garbage time)

The 2 minute drill defense is a disaster (typically zone with insufficient pass rush). The 4Q TD also of course being a 2 minute drill TD as well.

It also feels like the opposing OC has a better counter punch schematically to early happenings in the game.

They need to entirely re-evaluate 2 minute drill approach. That means who are your pass rushers, LBs in coverage, and coverage overall.

The biggest indictment of him being a terrible DC is how often he puts players in bad situations. Golden knew the players strengths and weaknesses better than damn near any college DC I've seen. Too often players are asked to do things they're not good at. I firmly believe that's why the defense looks so much slower. They're all thinking way too much and can't play fast

I know it’s been terrible and total disaster thus far but I don’t think freeman is the type of coach that’s going to fire him this quickly without trying to fix it. If it’s ugly behind closed doors between the two that may change things

I just want to reiterate how insane it is for this to have actually been something that happened today. They tried basically 60% of every coverage option relatively available and failed mightily.

JaDon Blair’s dad even voicing some frustration and stating that nothing has been fixed. Frankly, I see no lies in his tweet. Giving up 30 against Purdue is a problem.

I don’t think last year’s defense gives up more than 14 under any circumstance.

Would MF get the support from the administration to fire him?

This is going to be a problem. You have limited depth and your recruits parents are tweeting about it. That’ll do wonders for recruiting.

Nobody is going to fire a key assistant in the middle of a season until you have nothing left to play for. Even then, it's borderline unthinkable with no upside versus just reassigning people.

Understand the frustration but he also needs to learn to keep his mouth shut, can only lead to bad things. Also wasn’t he the one upset with Carr being QB?

Not sure about the Carr thing but I've seen his tweets come up enough to know that he's going to be a really annoying person to have associated with the program while his son is around.
