With the news that Jon Greenard is transferring, we lose our best defensive player. Also he was the only dude on one of the worst defensive lines in the country. I sincerely hope we have patience next season because we are going to be horrible.

By the way, hiring a coach ASAP will prevent some of these things. Let’s go Vince.
I care. Losing your best defensive player is important. Obviously we have huge issues but they just got bigger.
He’s going to play for Grantham so I’m not sure if we’d been able to convince to stay anyways. The fact that Petrino’s ego was too big to deal with Grantham was a major factor in his downfall.
I agree. Bobby’s demise came quickly after Granthams departure. No coincidence
I can't blame him - and I agree 100% with your thoughts.
It's disappointing, would have loved to have him help steer the new regime.
Hope he has a big SR year and gets healthy for the draft.
Next year is going to rough on defense you can't fix that mess in 1 year or 2 years. The only good news is there is plenty of playing time available.
Statement from Louisville football spokesman: “Jonathan Greenard confirmed today with the U of L athletics department that he and his family have not had any communications with the University of Florida about transferring.”
If Florida had communications with him, I believe that’d be a violation. The university said he isn’t in the transfer portal but I’m not sure how that works for a grad transfer. I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t end up at Florida next semester.
I hope like hell that he stays. Having a good pass rush is a recipe for turning things around quickly. We need him.
Come on, Vince! Let’s get our coach by tomorrow.

I think the key to having a successful team is correlated to how many plays for a loss of yardage the defense makes.
Well, yes, obviously. But my point is if you have a good edge rusher or 2, you can mask a lot of other problems on your defense.
No doubt. Can pressure the QB w/o blitzing. Also, can get some stops against the run in the backfield.
Wish there were 2 like buttons. I would have clicked both.
The players on the roster will have ample opportunity to prove themselves. Plenty of PT for those who can earn it.
Greenard will be a grad transfer so I am not surprised. Why stay here in a rebuild when you can play for an established team?
Now our commits looking elsewhere is a concern. We need a coach to fix that [assuming now coach still wants those players].

We're out here trying to snatch grad transfers from everywhere, and want to ***** when somebody grabs ours?
With good there is bad.
