I think UM fans have a knee-jerk distaste for coaches who run 3-4 defenses because of D'Onofrio and, going back, Tom Olivadotti.....but many coaches run aggressive, if not exciting, 3-4 defenses these days.
Ha...I know.....whenever there is a coaching search, I tend to look at who has worked for the HC in the past, his coaching tree,etc......hence why I mentioned him.
Not on the defensive side of ball.
Pretty good hires after Martinez, including Grantham and Pruitt and before Martinez
he had Brian Van Gorder, who did well at UGA.
Gray is an interesting name.
Played and coached under Bud Foster at VT when they had good defenses.
Also coached for Edsall at UConn.
Currently coaching with the Redskins.
Another assistant coach with the Skins who may be relevant to this convo is Kirk Olivadotti.
Olivadotti's dad was the DC...
