Chin interview
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
Oh, I hear ya. It was brutal watching us give up endless 3rd & longs the whole damn year. It may not be fully fixed this year but I sure hope that problem won't be quite so bad.
Hmmm, funny how with Clownahan's superb "NFL talent" NU simply couldn't stop anybody. Period.
I'm still not sold on Chins, hope to be this year. Last year seemed like more than just being out-manned, more like out-coached on D. The 3rd and 4th and longs were absolutely crazy.
Yeah you are definitely going for it there. I think he’s just a guy. Do you really believe Bohl wouldn’t come in and get better results as a DC? Hope you are right my man!
Nope little Blophenii and his mary men If everyone is ok with labels, played like Mary Poppins against the run. Melvin Gordon scores again. I believe every Big ten back with a pulse looked like Walter Payton against those horrid run Defenses. Hopefully the days of being owned by Troy and Northern Illinois OLines is over. And by the way, we were pretty awful against the pass under Bo too. Teams just choice to run become they needed to prepare for the grind of the Big ten.
Jojo gonna lay the smackdown next year. I wonder if his his parents were listening to Johnny Cash alot when they named him.
Then let’s hope that just as the kids have improved over the last year that Chin also has improved over the last year.
Bohl wet the bed when he had the job. He was too busy getting drunk and banging women other than his wife. Chinander may be "just a guy" but coaching college defense isn't rocket science. He's smart enough but better yet he can teach. Our D last year made giant strides and improved during the year. We don't have to have the greatest defensive mind. We have to have a guy who knows enough but most importantly can get his guys to be in the right place and do their job. Pelini failed miserably at that unless he had guys with enough talent to cover up mistakes. I'm very optimistic about an improved defense with the players having some continuity of coaching. I do NOT expect us to be able to dominate like we did under Osborne or at times like we did with Suh wreaking havoc.
I think people underestimate what some continuity and just solid people is going to mean to our team. We've been a mess for a long long time.
Geeshh.....once again, if Clownahan had such excellent recruiting for four years why was he losing all over the place?
Two losing seasons in four years. Does that give you a hint? He did rack up some good offensive stats during garbage time.....but that was about it.
He had a terrible defensive staff with maybe the worst defensive back coach (Elmo) in all of college football. The first losing season was due to a complete offensive makeover without the QB and offensive line to run his offense AND a bad defensive staff. Make no mistake, Callahan brought in a ton of talent. The proof is in how many of those guys played in the NFL. A fair number were also high draft picks.
