He coached under Alex Grinch, who ran a base 3-4/3-3-5 -- He's a 3-4 guy if I had to pick a scheme. But it's more "multiple" and not dogmatic.

I just looked up his coaching history. As a DC, he’s only been a DC as an interim. He did it as Missouri and at USC. Both were for 3 games. This would be his 3rd stint as interim DC. Not sure what defense he runs.

Your loss.

I would suspect that we've seen the end of the 3-3-5. My guess is that he will go back to the 3-4 we ran through the middle of the season. We have run some 4-2-5 in obvious passing situations. If he is a 4-man front guy, he could use that as a base. I don't really think he will do that. We have to do something to fill more gaps and get a pass rush. You can do either with the fronts we currently have, but in the 3-4 you have to be willing to shade the nose. Caponi absolutely would not do that. We NEVER slid the front or moved the nose off of a zero shade. Brown can be a much bigger factor than he has been. So can our DT's. I just hope we put our kids in a situation where they have a chance. Filling gaps on the LOS from the third level is a good way to give up 500 yards a game. Hopefully we never see that again.

How about both?
