I agree. Bunch of entitled cry-babies on here recentlyWhy do people care so much what the offense or defense looks like if we are winning? If we aren't winning, then I would understand the concern. If future seasons play out like this one, then I would be concerned. But Frost and staff's haven't completed their first season and people are already calling for firings.
You misheard...he doesn't worry about yards..and teams might score points...but he isn't going to be happy with 50-30 outcomes in 3 years. He has been a defensive coach, and played defense....he understands that he puts his d at a disadvantage but Chin is already under the microscope. Scott has taken a more active role in defensive strategy and planning...especially after the Purdue game...it is his opinion that Chin is coaching fine and that guys are in position but a talent upgrade is needed. The next logical step is to upgrade talent and then make a judgement if chin is the right guy. Scott won't fire Chin, but if he isn't the best option he will "move on" to a role as head coach at a place like NW missouri state.
When better players come into the defense you will think Chinander is a genius. It's athletes it isn't game plans
So the offense has to be perfect to win games? Even this year we have a pretty good offense, but it's nowhere close to perfect. I know Frost has high standards for the offense. Why not the same for the defense? Would it not be a better strategy to have both a good offense AND a good defense? I don't see the need why you have to choose one or the other.
Yes we've barely ran any hurry up all year. The pace of our offense has been pretty average this year. Our offense has actually done a pretty good job of moving and holding onto the ball. Any time of possession issues are mostly the result of the defense not being able to get stops, especially on 3rd downs, and letting the other team drive down the field. If it wasn't for our offense being able to move the ball, our defense would have probably given up even more points and more yards this year.
On the other side of things, Saban seems to have made a commitment about 2 or 3 years that he wants a great offense as well as a great defense. In the last 3 years, Alabama has completely changed their style of offense and even hired Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian as coordinators to implement that change. Alabama's offense has been very good for several years, but it was never great. Not until this year anyway. Saban no longer has to rely on having the best defense to win championships because he now has the best offense too. Now either side of the ball can have a slightly off year and there's a better chance than not Alabama will win the national championship because they will either have the best offense or the best defense in the country. If you look at the kind of year Alabama is having, that's the kind of thing that happens when you make a commitment to be the best on both sides of the ball.
Exactly what I thought. The defense has noone to blame but themselves for the position they are in and where they are ranked. 107th is how this defense has played this year and where they belong in the rankings. The defense isn't ranked 107th because "the offense scores too fast" or whatever bs excuse people want to use to deflect blame away from the defense.
That should be the first thing you clean up. Those kind of things should be taken care of by the end of fall camp. Missed tackles and missed assignments haven't improved all year. Even in UCF's second year, they had a ton of problems with these things so I'm not sure we can expect this to improve much in year 2.
Once this O get's running fully on all cylinder's, there won't be an offense to outscore this one. Sorry
If our offense has an off day and the defense doesn't get drastically better, there sure as hell will be a lot of teams that could outscore us.
I think our defense will get better next year, but not by enough. We could have a top 10 offense next year and still struggle to get to 7-5 if our defense doesn't improve much. I also don't think the defense is going to magically keep improving every year like some people assume. I don't know if Chinender has a very high ceiling and don't think we're going to see a defense that's much above average while he's here.
You base that on what you are seeing right now, and that makes sense. But he’s still quite young... I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that he can improve quite a bit.
There are A LOT of brain dead idiots that expected instant 90's glory when Frost got here and will always complain even after we start winning championships again. They totally live in a fantasy world and clearly lack the ability of understanding the concept of year one, especially from where this team was last year. The defense right now is what it is people and there is not one thing you or I can do about it, so deal with it. It's quite simple actually. You have 2 choices, sit back and enjoy the ride that's coming or get the hell out. I don't who care likes what I said or not. In Frost I trust.
