I think he'll do just fine. It doesn't look like he is the DC but just a position coach and he has had success at other stops. I don't think he is a top DC by any stretch but I think he had a bigger problem in that he worked for Riley who doesn't care about defense. Now, it's funny that Riley is saying that defense needs to come first but I'll believe it when I see it.

I've been thinking the same thing. It is also possible that Riley is young enough to teach himself a new trick by putting equal emphasis on O and D, after being read the riot act by the AD. Time will tell.
January 26, 20241 yr Author Moderator Riley? Maybe part of the problem but the SC D in 2023 was an uncoordinated every man for himself fire drill. The OK D under Riley and Grinch didn't look much better. Perhaps it's easier to coach up 2* and 3* recruits than 4* and 5* recruits? Not a lot of 4* and 5* guys on the Wisconsin D.
