How can you create ANY culture of accountability and keep O'Neil? Not possible

Oh it's different. It's just not "give up 5-650 yards a game to ordinary teams" different. Sure we lost a lot of guys on D. But this is our worst defense in like 15 years. Duke sucks. Nebraska is mediocre. No excuse. Nebraska could have scored 70 if they wanted to.
It is not “appreciably” different. The secondary is basically the same as the end of last season once Newsome was hurt and we weren’t flat-*** embarrassed. The front is basically the same, plus we got Miller back. The LBs clearly turned over, but that isn’t enough to explain the abortion we are putting out there right now.
We had great or good defenses for most of the past 15 years. This has nothing to do with covid.
Why do trolls like you only come out when the team is struggling? Do you not have any other hobbies?
Because his team won a B1G game. Doesn't happen often. And - get this - his team plays 6 more games. Three of their opponents will crush them. But - if they will ALL three if the rest, they might make a BOWL game. So they are understandably excited about that accomplishment.
This year, and next is gonna be excruciating… l feel for you. This is going to be worse than Lovie Smith. Love the new indoor facility btw.
Players being in position to make plays is the literal job of the defensive coordinator. Why are you guys choosing to die on this hill.
The problem is JON.
While there is a mature talent issue (talent with maturity) as w we lost a lot after last year, there is still the problem that these guys are out of position and taking bad angles
Now, is that because the players need time to learn a new system, or is that because the new system is bad?
Are there examples of teams running this new system successfully?
That's exactly the problem; there's really no example of JON managing a successful defense as DC to date.
Biggest problem is just if the results look like this for a season, he's never going to get another season to attempt to make his system work. That's what happened in the pros (demoted after bottom 3 NFL seasons), and it will happen here in all likelihood.
Here's one article on it.
We have our own nihilists, so we do not need another. Especially one who is not just a nihilist but also uninformed.
