Fangio was DC of my Bears a year ago. He ran a lot of zone. We dominated. He did so well, he left to become Denver’s coach.

In came Pagano, a notorious risk taker. We had the same ballers, but now a lot of blitzing and man coverage. We got burnt. We finished with excellent numbers but not the same as under Fangio.

You live by the sword, you die by it.

I hope we hire someone Donk really likes. If he works out, less complaining. If he doesn’t, we can mercilessly make fun of Donk. Win win.
Oh, anyone who gets hired will struggle trying to build a defense w DEs and safeties trying to play at the two ILB positions

I saw some absolutely bad plays by linebackers this year. Guys way out of position, lost. You knew that had a big impact.

I wondered why. Dumb athletes or dumb coaches.

Both. Well, sometimes poor athletes and a bad position coach.

The only solid (but not spectacular) LB weve had is, of course, Reese, and he was solid before the staff arrived.

So maybe a silly question, but do we have any defensive recruits we're still hoping for on NSD or are we good so this won't affect us losing anybody?

Even he was sporadic. Miller was a complete adventure.

Every P5 DC faces three (or more) powder puffs. Are you trying to suggest it’s any different with Grantham?

I think Reese is athletically limited mostly. But his limits are known and frankly not his fault.

You better get used to Miller because we are going to need him for his redshirt Senior and two post grad years.

The SEC East is full of incompetent offenses and Muschump clones. It's embarrassing how terrible they are.


PLEASE don't fvkk this up, Grantham.
