Aquaman.
Some watery tart lying around in ponds is no basis for defensive decisions.

We need batman. Does more with less. At this point, I want a brooding mastermind stalking the sidelines growling at people.
I would have said Superman, but we would beat everyone 1000+ to 0 and it would get boring.
And people on here would still find a way to complain about it....
All day long.. Invisible Man. The opponents cannot see us!!

I think the guy who sat beside me Thursday, who yelled Cover Your Man about 400 times already thinks he's in our secondary. Of course, he also cussed the flag pole for blocking his view of the scoreboard and fussed because they didn't even have a flag on it. I'm sure Coastal planned that specifically for him.

Not always line up your DBs 10 yards off the line of scrimmage….

Teach players how to tackle and not throw their shoulder at people….

Tell players that 3rd and 12 is actually a more favorable down and distant to defend than 3rd and 1 and that giving those up results in punishments..

Actually make game adjustments

Sit up in the booth where you can actually see the field

Not make political comments on social media and focus on YOUR JOB

Things like that…
You do know that Brent Venables and Nick Saban both were/are on the sidelines when coaching defense right?

Don't think the Invisible Man is in the DC universe, but I did find this guy.😁

The Invisible Hood is a fictional superhero in the DC Comics Universe. He was originally owned by Quality Comics, but was later acquired by DC Comics, along with other Quality characters.

I absolutely hate posts like this. We are fans on a message board, while our assistants don’t exactly make the checks of an SEC program someone like Dale Jones still gets paid more than like 99% of us who post on this forum.

We aren’t supposed to have these answers. But we do understand our defense has clearly gotten worse in BOTH stints where he has been at this post.

And look, I agree, he’s maybe become a bit of a scapegoat. But things can not stay the same going into year 4 of the Clark era. You have to try something new. New blood, new energy, new ideas. I am a huge international soccer fan and those teams change coaches like we change clothes. Sometimes it’s incredible the impact a fresh perspective on the game can have on team morale.

Jones has done NOTHING to warrant being back next year, even if our problems are deeper than him.

So other than, we need to make a change because it works for soccer teams, what do you think would be different with a different coordinator?

How do you know that Jones isn’t holding this D together and doing great job with the players who arre available and keeping them playing hard at the end of games.

Or is it just an emotional. Being average sucks, we have to make a change?

Again, what would a nee DC (that we can afford) do differently that would change the results?

Honest question, what’s the solution?

Nobody has issues with the energy levels when we were playing Carolina or Texas A&M.

What if DJ doesn't call the 3rd and long plays? What if that's on the defensive passing game coordinator/CB coach? Does that change your opinion?

It's not an excuse. On clear passing downs, DJ calls the blitz/front 7 and Rod West calls the coverage.

Just like when Sloan and Woody were here. Only time in recent years we didn't have a set up like this is the year Drink was here.

I do actually think not enough heat is placed on west. I have questioned his recruiting strategy - ie long and less twitch.

You can bring in Nick Saban and it wouldn’t make much difference. You need talent in order to be successful and right now, we are short on talent.
Great coaches make mediocre and sometimes bad talent look real good. Every player we have isn't bad (in fact we have some really good players).... You just have to scheme different and so far we haven't done that successfully.

Poor tackling is a result of being out of position. It doesn’t matter what the coaches teach about tackling if guys can’t be where they are supposed to be.

He didn’t recruit the guys that are currently on the field outside of Johnson who is pretty good.
