Ultimate List of Current Def Coordinators (that we can get)

[msudogsrule01]

The way this works is that you look at the agg total score, which adds up the d coord ranking in significant categories. These are all D Coordinators that are at schools where the head coach makes less than Dan Mullen as of this year. I also weeded out any coord that had a total D this year of 70 or worse. I made no attempt to add weight to the categories, although I may do that soon.

It has us listed as number 4, when everywhere I have seen says we played the toughest schedule in the country.

 

[GBryne4Heisman]

but what does 1 TFL and 4 sacks mean by Dias?

That a national rank or their totals from this year?

Good work though

 

[msudogsrule01]

This is the only site I could find that had the SoS in a format that I could easily put into Excel.

http://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/strength-of-schedule-by-team

 

[msudogsrule01]

Yes, all rankings are national rankings out of 120. All statistical rankings, save the SoS courtesy of the NCAA.

 

[AzzurriDawg4]

Looks like Diaz knows how to get players in the backfield.

 

[msudogsrule01]

I am hesitant about him, he had a good year this year, but was very average every other year in a really weak conference.

 

[therightway]

Being ranked 104 in sacks, from Croom's eyes that would be pretty good for your first year because that is almost cracking the top 100.

 

[AzzurriDawg4]

Mullen evidently saw something that impressed him. As good as he is with the offense, you know he takes note of a DC that causes trouble for him.

 

[msudogsrule01]

My realistic favorites, after compiling this list are Casteel from WVU (probably can't get), Wilcox from Boise St., and Bruce Fowler from Vanderbilt. I also like Huxtable and Bray (although he is at a bigger school). The most likely candidate is Diaz, of course.

It would have been a different game if we had not gotten the 3 int's.

I am hesitant about him, he had a good year this year, but was very average every other year in a really weak conference.

He had the same players that everyone else in that weak conference had and each year he improved 20 spots or so. That ain't bad.

 

[Todd4State]

Holy crap- Mike Archer and Carl Reese are STILL coaching?

 

[JimC1097]

He didn't do a very good job of stopping us......

Diaz and MTSU held us to fewer yards than Jackson State, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Houston, Kentucky, LSU, Arkansas, and Ole Miss did.

asdf

 

[sleepy dawg]

I love the list. I would like to see it "tinkered" with a bit and put some weights on some categories, but this is by far the best list of anything like this I've seen for our DC search.

 

[Henry Kissinger]

how many of his candidates are still alive?

 

[sleepy dawg]

... that's assuming any of them were really candidates in the first place.

 

[msukb591]

After looking at that, I like Manny Diaz...I hope we go for him or he's a front runner. Looks to be very aggressive, exactly what we want to return to a decent SEC defense. If not him, maybe Mullen still has ties to Utah where he can get the DC from there.

 

[Todd4State]

that we had a huge talent advantage over them.

The SOS is relative. He was able to stop Sun Belt talent with Sun Belt talent.

They held us to 24 points I think- that's not bad.

 

[jackbaddawg]

and Phil Fulmer were bumping bellies in the same house in the kitchen today at Old Waverly.The house used to belong to the pillsbury doughboy with wider halls & large sized commodes etc. etc.
