Question, & I’m not trying to be argumentative, but just a ?
I’m going to assume u’re referring to Collins’ 2 yr stint at UF as a DC, correct, when they were fielding an elite defense? If so, could it possibly be he produced an elite defense b/c he had Shannon as a Co-DC?
The reason I asked is b/c at Miss St, prior to UF, his defense wasn’t elite. 1st yr they were 18th, & his 2nd yr they were 84th. Then I look at his tenure as a HC after UF; he supposed to be a defensive guy, right? Well at Temple, he coached the 54th & 47th ranked defenses, which is pretty meh, however by comparison to his tenure at GT, that looked elite! At GT, the defense was down right deplorable; in fact, they got progressively worst every year until he was finally fired.
So help me to understand the obsession, besides those two yrs at UF.
