I know Stoops is calling the D this game. But this is DJ Elliots results after 4 years.

Stoops is a hell of a D cord. He is dealing with his guys player development and coaching over the last 4 years.

DJ has destroyed this team.

Last I checked it was Stoops calling the defensive plays. He can no longer point the finger at anyone else. He's probably incapable of doing so but he needs to take a good long look in the mirror. No more blaming Neal Brown..no more blaming Shannon Dawson..no more blaming DJ Eliot..no more blaming a lack of talent..this is on him, just like it's been from the very first game when he got beat by Western Kentucky.

How about Stoops? He needs to do the admirable thing and resign. Seriously. Get some sort of severance package but do the right thing.

As for Barnhart, fire him immediately.

Sh Stoops had 5 * takent at FSU not buying that he was a good coach. A blind man could coach FSU D at that time with all the talent that was on it. Stoops sucks at everything!

Not making any excuses for stoops. But to start the ending of this bleeding you fire DJ.

Stoops time is coming. But i cant blame Stoops for play calling in this game. I blame the coach who has had hands on coaching of this D. No effort or propper technique tackling or def.

Stoops can call the perfect d. But if these guys are not prepared he fails.

Yes stoops kept this clown around and it will cost him his job. My point is after stoops just took over this guys responsibility and seen how bad of a job he has done. Then fire him today.

Gramm is all he was said to be. Why stoops did not not get a top d guy is on him. And if we lose , he may need to go today also.

When you get rid of all your coordinators and still have the same results, you might want to blame the man in mirror, as he's the only one left.

Not defending Stoops, but this is stupid. Coaching at high levels is hard. A blind man couldn't even read the players numbers at FSU.

In all seriousness, it would not look good on Stoops at all to fire Elliot today. You kidding me? Take over play calling duties, totally tank, then fire the other guy? No sir

Just fold the entire FB program..I have never seen a D1 defense as bad is this one. How can we expect them to stop a team when they can't even get lined up..

My point is Stoops just took the wheel of another mans car. That car had bad tires and low oil. Basically a car that had been ignored and not taken care of. I agree stoops should of addressed earlier but we are here today. So fire DJ today. In 4 Years he should have a solid culture built on D so any c p ach could step in and at least compete.

That's absurd. I agree DJ stinks, but Stoops is the Head Coach and he's a defensive guy. Took the keys to another man's car? Come on. This is Stoops's car, period

You can blame them for the lack of talent up front because of the failure of recruiting players there, but I don't think anyone could make this group look decent.

I agree stl. But as a HC you gotta trust the guys you put to represent you and be productive.

Good Lord not enough time in the day to micro manage an entire coll football team. Gotta trust guys u hired .

UKs defense sucks not because of coaches. The players are not very good and they have no quickness.
The 3-4'scheme is foolish to run if you are slow to the ball. If Stoops ran it at FSU they had quickness at every position.

To run on a 3-4 with no push or quickness is very easy. You basically double team at the point of attack. Since the DL makes no push they basically just stand up. If your LBs are not coming up to meet the run every play gains 5-7 yards.
