I didn't know that Chizik is a gator. That moves him to the top of my list. Make Marquand the safeties coach, maybe asst DC.

Wonder which Colts he ran over while ensconced in the luxury suite? Must have been the Colt owner's box and he ran over them on the way to the food table.

MM is also being interviewed by the Bengals... doubt he's interested in dropping down from NFL to college AND from DC to position coach.

Im thinking Grantham stays. I think him and Dan believe they can win a NC. He might wait for a HC job.

Yeah ... I dont think he is going anywhere. I'd like to see stability in the program on both sides of the ball for another year. Players have bought into the system so I would like to keep the system the same for one more year. Things are going our way so don't like the timing. If we have to change, it needs to be a solid hire.

His defenses were pretty soft at Auburn and NC. He's been away for a few years and ain't gonna have any recruiting connections. I've just never been too impressed with him.

My guess is Durkin is still too toxic, he probably needs a year in the bammer halfway house. But if not, he'd be a home run hire. He can coach and recruit, and we'd definitely never have to worry about him leaving for a HC job.

I’m not getting why MM would be a homerun hire. His 2 years as a DC were less than impressive. As far as I know, the last time he recruited was in college as a host. He’s a gator, but bleeding orange and blue doesn’t mean he’ll be a great DC or that he can recruit. We have no idea about either. I know he seems to be respected as a young nfl coach. That is a good sign.

1991. Hoosier Dome. Was a guest of Marathon Oil in their skybox. Sanders took a pitch to the right that the Colt defenders over-pursued. Barry recognized pursuit while still seven yards deep in back-field, planted his right foot and reversed direction. I came out of my seat, raised my arms signalling touchdown and yelled, "There he goes!" 50 or so yards later he was in the endzone. Was the only Lion fan in the area. Lonely, awkward celebration.

Good experience, good memory. I was just messin' with you because it sounded like Sanders was in the luxury suite.

I know. You could say the same about my description of his run. Just trying to create a vision with words. Sometimes I fail.

They should get it down by the 3-4 practice session.

Right. Well, 3 down lineman and a dedicated Buck/Rushbacker who always rushes, no surprise at all probably 95ish percent of the time. 4-2-5 is more like it today.
He played a true Sabanesque 3-4 with 3 heavies (310-330) and four 250ish LBs in the day at Ugly.
I guess he adopted this CUSA style defense at Loovulle. Or perhaps he is just reacting to the roster. I dont know.
