Bad Defense Philosophy Changes

[El Paso Eagle]

Very similar situations with both teams

In a season where teams were not able to meet and practice as usual the Head Coaches made decisions to go with completely different Defense schemes. 

Results - Both teams have struggled with very bad defenses. I guess it's arrogance where coaches feel they can make these types of changes without preparation. 
Hopefully they will continue to improve, but there is no doubt these coaches knew the players were not ready for these changes.

Side note - Also curious that both teams have had outstanding offensive numbers but no success

I’m guessing you’re talking about UNT and the Cowboys...

Correct

Well, except UNT played the same defensive scheme last year (and one that's working well for a number of schools).

So, instead of tackling the opponent, our coach now wants our defense to spank him?

Good coaches adapt their scheme to talent   on hand and start implementing their philosophy as the players are available.

Maybe the key word is "Good" coaches.
