Oregon's new Defensive Coordinator has a plan.
So the new coordinator has a plan, Play Defense.
“Whose wise idea was it to pair the Bend-but-don’t-Break-Defense with the Oregon Offense?”
That defense works….I know as I’ve coached it, but why would you pair it with an offense that has been in the top five in the nation for scoring in each of the last five years? Oregon is known for rapid scoring, having some of the highest numbers of under-two minute drives in the nation. An offense like that can score a TON, so why pair it with a defense that is designed to be out on the field for long stretches–and keeps this scoring machine off the field?”
I am sure it started with "Um, Well". I didn't mention the coach because I think the theory stands on it's own.

I'm confused, isn't the logic of pairing a bend-don't-break D with Oregon's O backwards? Wouldn't you want to err on the side of an overly aggressive D that will get your O back on the field quickly?
I feel like when the Saints were at their best was when their D was super aggressive. They'd give up a fair number of points, but they were getting tons of TOs and handing the ball back to their high powered O a lot.

That's what Oregon was really good at during their run to the National Championship game two years ago. They'd score quickly on you, then they'd be ultra-aggressive on defense to find any way to get their offense back on the field. It resulted in Oregon being +23 in turnover margin on the year, and obviously that'd win you a lot of games.
Good guy, mediocre HC. Hopefully learning how to run a defense hands-on while make him into a better HC the next time he gets a chance.

So his plan is to install a defense that let's the other team score quickly and get Oregon's offense back on the field?
I think my statement was more realistic
Particularly when he had all of us ready to run through a brick wall, pretty much making it known it was his dream job, only to see it all unravel. To a person, everyone I have ever talked to who worked or encountered Brady Hoke when he was head coach had nothing but glowing things to say about the guy, until the atmosphere got so toxic that he just started turning in on himself and changing his demeanor to try to right a sinking ship. He wanted it to work so badly, and it didn't. Sucks watching a genuinely good guy completely fall on his face--particularly when he had the choir of Michigan luminaries behind you trying to make it work.
I hope he has some success and happiness somewhere. Good guy, wrong job.
realistict niche that Brady could fulfill and still stay in the Big Leagues of CFB. That would be on the administrative side, of course, taking awayhis desire to coach, but to coach at a level based upon a realistic return on investment, truth is he has not demonstrated more than a middle-of-the-road MAC level and nothing higher would be viable imo so it would be this or a top level GLIAC program, like Ferris, now under Annesse or GVSU when under Kelly.
Now, OR has always been a disappointment, defensively, so it's possible for him to survive three years of confusion, thereby realizing another 400K -have no idea what he's making- but thinking coordinator in the PAC would bring down no less. So basically another 1.2 million before they are waving good-bye. There is a chance he could be a success, of course, but history speaks against it. Michigan is the outlier in his career bio as having his greatest season his very first, instead of finishing off with the best season at that respective stop, then moving on.
My son is in town from L.A. Has nothing to do with this post, but we began talking about today's coache's what becomes of them in regard to post-significant career events and we unearthed some amazing stats. No. 1) they are perhaps - difficult to think of another career) - the most overpaid group in the world. We googled so much, in fact, particularty the Bowden family, how far contaticts can take someone that my original niche that I thought would be a perfect fit for Brady probably is so out of tune with what he can make as a football coach, even at a low level relative to the P5 schools that A.D or S.I.D. would perhaps pay no more than low 200K area, he, a lifelong sub .500 coach might snub it. Then again, only in sports can a person in a career that's all about stats, somehow be seen as some type of success with a lifelong record of sufficient duration hinting at nothing but future losses be seen as a viable candidate in a position other than a h.c., but still demanding a very significant - in our very real worlds - salary.
As you have said, and to which I agree, not too many people I know dislike the man, that is why I thought something in the Administrative area would be perfect, but the salaries commanded by them, their real report card, make it impossible due to their competitive nature, to accept anyting less than what we view as a ridiculous amount.

So basically it will be a high risk high reward sell out on the play defense. Either you will stuff the play in spectacular fashion, or get scored on REAL quick. It's perfect to get the Oregon offense back on the field. Can't wait to see it
The article clearly states that the quotes are exaggerated. You didn't mention that at all in your post. At the very least you should have.
Either you didn't read the article thoroughly enough to see that the quotes are exaggerated or you ignored the fact that they are in order to make Brady Hoke look like a loudmouth. Brady Hoke is a lot of things but a loudmouth he is not. Very poor job on your part.
