Explain to me what led to this performance on the defensive side??
Please no...
Baker is a ******.... McCloud and Jennings suck bro... or canes duh bro
Was it all about the play calls putting the players in wrong spots?
Was it our Dline l not being able to shed blocks to get the run?
@dwreck27 Manny said in his post game presser that UNC ran the same couple of plays and we didn't adjust to stop it. What would follow logically from that statement if it was made by a strong leader? I would expect significant changes to be made.
At a basic level football is not difficult to figure out. Teams with better programs (executives, administrators, etc.) assemble better staffs, who recruit better players, who understand how critically important it is to get an elite QB, and who have standards for everyone including coaches that must consistently be met or there are severe consequences. That's not who we have been in the past 15 years, and, obviously, it's not who we are right now.
Our problems on defense go beyond having LBs who don't know their keys and who offensive linemen repeatedly get their big mitts on or even a dearth of good CBs. Those problems are indicative of a deeper problem with our defensive staff and the culture of our program.
If we don't see significant changes made to the staff in the off season, expect to see more of the same eeking out victories over average teams and losing to teams whose program is serious about having a winning football team just as we've experienced over the past 15 years.
Let me add in closing that the present iteration of Manny Diaz must evolve into a better more demanding executive administrator, and if he does not, he won't lead us anywhere we want to be.
