No one said we shouldn't stay in a 4-3, or that Leavitt should be our choice, but pretending Leavitt is like D'Onofrio is ridiculous. They couldn't be more different. Leavitt's defenses are highly aggressive, attacking defenses, not read-and-react like D'Onofrio's philosophy.

Exactly. Not that I'm saying we should hire Leavitt, but the whole idea that he's just like D'Onofrio because he runs a 3-4 (which he may or may not do if he were UM's DC) is ridiculous. A 3-4 defense doesn't mean a read-and-react defense. One of the most aggressive defenses in football...

The ONLY similarity is Leavitt employed a 3-4 defense at Colorado (a team who's defense he turned around from one of the worst in the nation to top 20) and Oregon. Leavitt's defenses have a very aggressive, attacking style, unlike D'Onofrio. No comparison at all.
