Mario, Please Fire Someone on the Defensive Staff

[Stingarov]

Dawson is nowhere close to elite.

Compared to Hetherman and Hetherman's toddler he is absolutely elite.

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

Can someone explain to me the last Duke TD on Lucas that was called back? Was he expecting help in the middle?

Yes. A replay of the pass to J Smith in the cotton bowl last year.

You cannot allow this level of mismanagement to continue. Heatherman would be preferable, but there is not a single unit on that side of the ball that isn’t an abject failure.

Anything short of termination(s) means you find the product on the field acceptable and in line with championship standards.

Thank you.

GO GET THE TENNESSEE COORDINATOR PERIOD KEEP JASON TAYLOR MAYBE WILL HARRIS

What has Jason Taylor really done

Yeah I don’t see how you can say someone is elite and then admit in the next sentence he gets lost for entire halves of games.

Who are you firing if it's your decision? Hetherman? Taylor? Who?

 

[JMG]

My guess is the same guy who makes our pass D look like trash……#25

He is flat out a liability unless he’s running downhill and even then he isn’t great. Poor tackler and turrible angles to the ball

I’ve been saying this.

He has tons of talent but holy **** he’s making way too many mistakes.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

But it’d be 3 in 5 years, not 3-3…

Otherwise, I’d agree. Technically Steele didn’t get fired either, he left for Bama to be their DC but it’s moot and he needed to go anyway. I’d be surprised if Hetherman got fired, and I don’t think he should TBH but some changes on that side must be made, and better players would help.

I think Hetherman needs to look deep and make some changes to his scheme. His philosophy and his scheme.
Better players would for sure help.

Not sure why Jason Taylor is getting a pass. His guys haven't done much ,either. IDK what they are doing with Lightfoot. Wilson was clearly a waste of $$

 

[TheATLCane]

Firing 3 DCs in 3 year might say more about Mario than the actual dcs sucking.

5yrs. keep up

 

[ssvir]

None of the position coaches will be back in my opinion.

Im also trying to validate a big one I’ve been hearing on offense coming (not named Dawson)

So that means Beard.

 

[Trav]

The defense was actually decent today overall. I know it doesn't feel like it, but they gave up 330 ish total yards with 70 of them coming on the last meaningless drive. They did enough today.

 

[252cane]

On 26 carries. Sheppard averaged 8 ypc

21 carries. There were 5 sacks. Brown averaged close to 7 ypc.

Even if you take away 5 carries for sacks it still isn’t 7 ypc it’s 5

 

[Theu954]

Both Coordinators?

Really..,

I AGREE WITH YOUR THINKING BUT DAWSON NEEDS TO GO SPEND SOME TIME WITH KC CHIEFS WITH ANDY REID AND STAFF GET SOME NEW CREATIVE IDEAS & DESIGNS

 

[McGahee2TheHouse]

What has Jason Taylor really done

People aren’t ready for this convo

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I still believe in Corey but he’s losing me.

Idk who is at fault but Dunnigan has absolutely no idea what to do in pass coverage. He is guessing every pass play. He is a bigger liability than Thornton at this point, he just has more athleticism.

We get to 3rd down and then we bail coverage.

The RB and TEs could eat all day in the middle of the field it they wanted.

We still aren’t recruiting enough speed on the secondary.

What have we done Bryce Fitzgerald bruh? He looks nothing like the kid from last year. I

 

[Odin]

5yrs. keep up

My mistake obviously meant 3 in 5.

 

[Stingarov]

Yeah I don’t see how you can say someone is elite and then admit in the next sentence he gets lost for entire halves of games.

That's how low my standards are in 2026 after 2005-2024 Miami Football.

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

Compared to Hetherman and Hetherman's toddler he is absolutely elite.

None of our coaches are close to elite. I thought we had something with Heatherman. Defense was great last year. He has pooped his pants this season.

We get out coached 6-7 games a year, even in some of our wins. Very average coaches

 

[Sabetta]

When you're regularly having to play Day, Chase Smith and Damon Wilson I'm not sure what you're expecting

 

[htownkidd]

yes meant 5.That would be a little alarming,no?

IF he is fired, then yes.
But I don’t think it happens, guess we’ll see. Something would have to go drastically wrong these last 2 games. IMO, you can’t fire a coordinator in Y2 after he has an elite Y1 that led you to a natty appearance, and then *knock on wood* wins ACC, and makes playoffs in Y2. Make changes? Absolutely. Fired? Nah.

And again, I don’t think he should be fired. JMO
