He quit on the team. Good riddance

His moobs will be missed by some.

What a mess at FAU. https://footballscoop.com/news/roc-bellantoni-fired-last-week-at-fau-is-reportedly-returning-to-the-staff

Fair enough, even if the new DC mixes in 4 man front looks more, I would be happy with that. Hell I liked Refferts 3-3-5 that had the OLB on the line rushing the passer. That was effective for us.

My criteria for DC. 1. Runs a 4 man front 2. Has been a success DC at the FBS or FCS Level 3. Texas Ties (coached in state at some point) 4. Recruits transfer portal and JUCOs

Thanks for the information. Will be interesting to see what happens to some of the defense offers once we get a new DC in here.

Now that the Xs ans Os are getting fixed, we need to get the proper Jimmy's and Joe's on defense. Hopefully we see some short term improvements these next few weeks, but we need a good hire, and better players on that side of the ball this off-season.

It's Mike Craven's list. He could give a shit less about us. Probably just looking at DCs that are going to be on the market soon.

Per the ESPN article when Grinch was hired at Wisconsin. Washington State ranked 99th in total defense in 2014, the year before Grinch was hired as defensive coordinator. The Cougars improved to 84th in 2015, 62nd in 2016 and 16th in 2017. The Sooners ranked 114th in total defense the year before Grinch's arrival but improved to 38th in 2019 and 29th in 2020 before sliding to 76th in 2021. Don't look up the USC tenure, it's similar to Caponi's time here.

SFA DC or HC would work for me. That SFA defense had some studs on it.

Yes it is

Caponi has been fired. What a terrible experiment this was.

Records of teams that we have beat. The only team with a winning record is SFA and they just lost to Texas A&M Commerce. We have a terrible defense and and offense that is explosive against bad teams. If the defense gets a stop, then the offense crumbles the next drive. South Alabama (4-5) SFA (6-4) Wyoming (2-8) Tulsa (3-7) Florida Atlantic (2-7) This team sucks, the program is heading in the wrong direction. I have wasted 17 years following this program. Not sure how you old timers have done this for so long.

We haven't improved since last year. Eric Morris is a cheaper version of Seth Littrell.
