I have said that BW should be fired. I have backed off (for now) because of the VT win. Rich Nagy on the other hand has been terrible. Oklahoma fired their D-Coordinator after 1 loss, Rich Nagy needed to be fired years ago. ODU's lack of action on this matter is very concerning. I think we have some talent on defense but they are constantly making mistakes and out of position. Nagy has lost control and you could argue that he never had control of this defense.

Yards per game against:
LIB 591
FIU 489
CHAR 373
VT 600
ECU 492
FAU 605

That's a lot of yards ..... unfortunately our defense appears to be a welcome mat for opposing offenses to clean themselves on. With numbers like that you are not going to win. It takes an extraordinary offensive push to overcome numbers like that. Throw in some 'dufus' special teams play and there you have it 1- 5. If someone had told me that we would be 1 - 5 at the halfway point, I'd have laughed. I thought we would at least be 3-3 at worst case. We have substantially exceeded my 'worst case' predictions. I've noticed that our defense oftentimes seems: (1) confused, (2) slow to get set, (3) frequent missing assignments and blown coverage in the secondary, (4) too many arm tackles, (5) slow in pursuit, and (6) exhausted with hands on hips. early in the game. Pinch me, am I imaging these??
