The guy has dug his own grave.
And he keeps digging.
And he keeps digging.
Weaknesses of the Under front:
1. You need FOUR good defensive backs.
2. Your SAM/SOLB has to be good enough to both play the run (& TE), & drop off to cover.
3. Hard to get pressure when ball on hash to wide side.
4. Not great vs. play action or run outside to strong (TE) side.
Please explain why u say points 2 3 4.
I'm trying to see what u mean in detail. Every "scheme" has a weakness but those that u mention seem more personnel related

In reference to point 4...
If you're in an Under Front and you're playing Cover-3 then your Sam OLB has flats. With him being lined-up on the TE, so close to the LOS, this leaves him susceptible to play-action pass. He reads run, steps up and then the TE slips into the flats.
I think that's what he means. Not positive.
Wasn't UM's defense ranked 13th or so in the nation last year?
I made a thread about this a while back, but you are correct. The TOTAL DEFENSE stat, which is one of the most misleading stats in football, was top 15; however, if you look at individual stats, such as 3rd down efficiency, 4th down defense, T.O.P, TO ratios, sacks, qb pressures, penalties....we were in the bottom 3rd in the NCAA once again.
The total defense is based upon points given up and total yards per game. The total ypg was misleading b/c we often played on our side of the field since our offense couldn't sustain drives or convert 3rd downs; therefore, the opposition didn't have to drive 80 yrds to score, the only had to drive 60-65 yrds. Also, the strength of schedule diminished from a pre-season top 20 schedule to a in-season top 60 schedule...so the level of competition was not that great, yet we went 6-7.
That's how Golden tries to deceive us, by concentrating on one positive to justify his scheme, but when you break it down, it was just as flawed as last year, if not worst since we couldn't get home to the QB or create TOs.
Not only that but the offense also milked the clock on every snap by going to the LOS and then look to the sidelines to get the play from Coley.Every snap came with a second or 2 left on the play clock.The defense was awful last year there were games where the other team punted only once or twice all game.
We are not a zone defense, we have never been good at zone. Seattle Seahawks have probably 3 times the amount of time to practice, study, and implement a game plan than a college team. And yet Golden still expects the Hurricane D to perform at the same level. Get out of town with that BS. I would rather Golden go visit Gary Patterson or the MSU DC (although he is gone now) than go visit a team like the Seahawks. The scheme needs to be simplified to the college level, bottom line. Stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room and just go with what you see dozens of others College team doing that is working. When you have a good corner leave the system because he cannot play aggressive style that is very telling. That was not matter of playing time, it was a matter of scheme. I am not sold that even half these kids on the roster have bought into this BS system and that right there means it will never succeed no matter how much you preach it or teach it.

I still think it comes down to the player
"We've changed so much from year to year . . . "
from "We need to maintain continuity . . . "
Golden is all over the map.
