New Defensive Coordinator - Billy Crocker of Villanova

Is Crocker going to be the DL coach? It would seem to make sense but I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere.
 
Looks like not assigned specific position guessing if running his system probably ends up helping out wholley and cox with safeties and linebackers a bit on different assignments and coverages

They guy probably has a track record of taking kids and coaching them up. It's what we need. The defense regressed this last year. To give up almost 90 points to Powerhouses East Carolina and Tulane was an embarrassment.
 
It's rare to heard attack and edsall in the same defensive conversation.

Edsall has been a classic bend but don't brake defense coach his entire career.

I have no idea how this will play out. No one does. We may get a preview during the spring game. But it will be fall practice before we really know.

Since when have you needed information to have an opinion?
 
I'm excited for anything but bend-and-don't-break. Enough Vanilla.

I really like this hire. Young coach with a track record of success. His base might be the 3-3-5 but I'm sure he'll employ multiple looks. After what your fans have endured watching on both sides of the ball over the last 3-4 seasons, you deserve some coaches that will at least to put an entertaining product on the field.
 
Seriously, the Kraken needs to be released on both sides of the ball. It should be attack-mode on both sides, especially on defense. There's a fair amount of talent to do a bit of damage with the right schemes. And I'm assuming this staff won't be timid or stingy about making necessary adjustments, either. Teams aren't winning respect and championships in this sport playing conservative, patty-cake ball.

I'll admit that I am not familiar with this hire. What I am familiar with is HCRE's track record in hiring (see Todd Orlando). He's bringing in a young & innovative coach with an excellent track record. That's good enough for me. Now let's roll!

I agree, but it's a players' game. Let's hope the players are as enthusiatic as we are.

It will be interesting how the coordinators theories hold up over the season with Edsall who is more conservative and basic.

I don't know about that.

I think Edsall wants to win above any particular scheme. I think our conservative RE1.0 had more to do with having RBs and a good line than overarching philosophy.

I'm sure we won't be high tempo sitting on a lead or blitzing but that's more about giving us the best chance to win.

(Sitting a lead - do you remember that???)
