Who do you want as the DC?

Give me Aranda, or Raymond. Or we can get Leavitt as a backup plan.

Leavitt....BTW, what is he doing now?

He's absolutely stinking up the joint at Colorado. But he yells and has an ugly mug so our fans want him.

I have no idea if he's good or not, but from what few games I saw of Colorado this year, he didn't have much to
work with.
I saw a very small and unathletic group of players which is not good when you're lining up against Pac12 offenses.

I like Lance Thompson from Auburn.

He was LB coach there and was their interim DC against Memphis. Held them to 200 yes of offense.

He is from the Saban/Muschamp coaching tree and has previous experience as a DC. Runs a hybrid D similar to what Florida ran the last few years.

Was named Recruiter of the year twice while with Alabama. Also coached with Saban at LSU.

He would be a home run hire.

If he's such a home run why didn't Auburn hire him?

Muschamp has claimed his services already.

So he'd rather be a position coach under Muscrap than the DC at Auburn? That's why Auburn couldn't get him as DC?

He's got no material at all.

All I know is, if you have the money to spend, you go after an elite, proven DC.

Otherwise, you go after an up and comer position coach who's a logical move to DC. You don't go after a DC with experience who has proven to be average at best. It would be a lazy hire that screams mediocrity. Jancek, BVG and the like, are all average DC's with a ton of experience proving they are slightly above average at THEIR BEST.

Id rather take a chance on an unknown who might be the next Jeremy Pruitt but could suck, then to settle for a known that is mediocre. At least ******* take a chance on being great instead of ******* giving up.

Jancek has improved the D at Tennessee every year he's been there.

In my perfect world, we'd hire John Chavis as DC. Sell him on stability at Miami, versus stating at aTm.

But if I can't get "my guy", I wouldn't gripe about Jancek.

I never said that.

I said he was announced as LB coach at South Carolina. I would like to think if he would have been offered DC at Auburn he would have taken that instead. But I have no idea if he had that opportunity.
