I totally agree, but I didn't always feel that way. I had my doubts during his first year when we were straight up bullied by Navy, and couldn't even slow down UCF's offense (thank god for the storm that stopped the game early).

It wasnt until the next season when they were able to completely shut down Navy specifically with adjustments made by the coaches to defend against the Triple O where I thought we had a good one...since then, I've been thrilled with nearly everything the defense has done.

Truth be told, many on the board felt similarly about the head coach. That first year was a tough transition from the previous regime and you did have a very young coaching staff getting their feet wet. Amazing to think about that year and then going to the other end of CLF saying no to MSU just a few months back. I'm so thankful how it all turned out. Damn grateful.
