Assuming they can beat Tulane next week.

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.

Very much so and without a bowl win at any serious program bringing him in conjunction with a never finishing a season above 0.500 would get you fired. We don’t have body bag games maybe we should bring them back to help test and finance the cost of bad coaching hires. 😂

I have my doubts.

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.
