RE: That did not take long
That's right. BW is the only common denominator on the defensive side. So far the offense is virtually unchanged for the past few years.

agreed

I don't know. Could you make the argument that BW controls Scott's decision making? What if the lack of creativity is more a function of a very stubborn head coach unwilling to listen to his Coordinators?

We are coming up on our 4th DC. If we continue to see a below standard defense, I think we'll know where the problem lies.

If that is really the case, it won't matter who the replacements are

It very well could be possible. The interview after the VT upset Wilder said Scott came to him before the game and said if we have any chance to beat VT LaRussa has to play. I personally think Wilder gets himself invested into the quarterback position. The two QB's he has hyped that weren't named TH was Shuler Bentley and Steven Williams. When he talked about them two qb he was overly excited but then reality hits and he goes back to his backup David Washington and Blake LaRussa.

I am not sure that I would describe the 2016 defense as "solid".
Total defense was 96th in the Nation and more importantly 4th worst in CUSA , against arguably the easiest schedule (relatively) we faced since 2009.
Our blowouts were a result of David Washington and an anomalous schedule.
We beat EMU by 4, and they were arguably the weakest FBS team to receive a bowl bid.

They were ranked in the 60s based on footballoutsiders. That is good. Total defense is a meaningless stat that doesnt account for garbage time stats.

My stats were from NCAA.com. respected and certainly not a voodoo site.

You don't find it odd that the only season we seemed to have any semblance of a defense was the season we played 9 teams with losing records, but were blown out by the three teams with winning records?
Even if somehow we really did have a solid defense that one season, (I disagree with that, as proven by our losses) then don't you find it odd that we had a respectable defense for only that one season in ten?

Additionally, we have the rushing issue.
Assuming we didn't particularly want to rush during the Heinicke era, doesn't it strike you as odd that the only season post TH that we showed an ability to rush consistently was that same season?

I personally don't believe in the above coincidences. I believe we need changes on both sides of the ball.

Bout to say the same thing... I would hope that's 58k in addition to the coaching salary.

One possible advantage of keeping that "circle of trust" together is that it keeps solid our most important recruit, Hayden Wolff.

Excellent point! Wolff could be our next Heinicke. Don’t want to rock that boat.

No one called them voodoo, they are just pointless because they dont accountfor garbage time stats or level of competition.

I dont find it odd at all. Every year is different. That year, the defense was good. Almost every other year (a couple were decent) was not good. This past year was extremely bad and possibly the worse its ever been since moving to FBS.

Rushing offense has rarely been an issue. It wasnt in FCS and since moving up, It was ranked 55 in 2014, and top 50 in 15 and 16. The last 2 years have not been good, but I would venture to guess Davis and Knoght change that next year.

With a returning senior QB and almost everyone back except for WR, DE, and S; Wilder wont coach another year if next year results in 3 wins.

Rushing offense, or lack thereof, was a big part of the lack of success of Shuler Bentley, as well as Steve Williams.

I don't have any faith in their ability to evaluate QB talent.
Also, Wolff changed schools his senior year to chase a state championship. His ability to be loyal is suspect in my eye. I am not counting on him until he is on campus and in camp.

In 2015 (Bentley)Lawry rushed for 5.9 ypc and Cox 5.1. They had ~1500 yards on 250ish carries. They ranked about 100th in rushing offense.

You picked out the only 2 years where rushing would even be considered an issue (15, 17) wnd it really wasnt terrible in 2015. Thus, its rarely an issue.

I it was terrible this year, and I believe that it contributed to losses and/or poor performances even during the TH era, either when he had a bad day or the defenses solved our red zone offense. It has always been one dimensional and, except for that anomalous 2016 has never been "good"

I consider top 50 at our level to be good. So, I consider it good for several years.
