This is spot on. We’ll never have to complain about the lack of adjustment. He’ll do his film work and more often than not scheme up something that frustrates the **** out of the offense.
Reword then: You can give significant weight to his defensive performance 10 years ago. I'm going to put a lot more weight on his recent elite results.
Gotcha. I put a lot more stock in his recent 5 year tenure at Auburn and not the fact that he was fired at Clemson 10 years ago for reasons we don't know. But weigh the evidence how you will.
Not sure what happened over a decade ago, you'll have to refresh me.
But he is the coach that produced elite defenses year in and year out at Auburn and almost got the HC job at Auburn in 2020.
You can't argue the numbers or the recruiting results.
If you have concerns because of his age. Okay. If you have concerns because of the cultural fit. Okay.
The numbers are downright elite though. Plain and simple.
Holy ******* elite. I mean just downright nasty defenses. Auburn's defensive ratings according to f+
2016: 9th
2017: 3rd
2018: 8th
2019: 4th
2020: 51st
4/5 years with a top 10 defense. That's ******* insane. Insane.
