Defensive Scheme

Hauck was playing the 3-3-5 before NIL kicked in. I don’t buy the argument. Developing guys to play in a traditional defense in the era of NIL shouldn’t be impossible. How many good defensive players are on teams that had coaching changes or just want to play for a winning team? Lots. Bring them in. Recruit and keep building. Get a better strength coach. It isn’t rocket science. The Griz have a dang good reasons for kids to transfer.
Baer brought the 3-3-5 in 2020 or 2021. Hauck has been recruiting the hybred athletes since about then.
 
Somewhat glad I missed the game based on the results (stuck in the Hospital all day) but I mentioned it on another thread. Unless we get Ronnie Bradford back we should be looking at a different scheme.

The Griz were 1 game away from the championship.. which Griz would definitely beat either Villanova or Illinois St. I believe we do need Defensive changes. Had the Griz had a competent D, things would be much different. Shit Griz got in good position to take the game over but, after Harper and Loud were out, MSU exposed Ford and completed deep passes with ease.

Also we are not Indiana, we don't have a bunch of money to throw around.

Stitt was an upcoming guy and did awful. High risk getting rid of this staff to bring in an unknown.
Did you watch the game? That was a first class ass kicking. Until bobby goes there will never be a payoff road win. Bobby lacks the chops to coach a team that can beat a good team without the substantial advantage Wa Griz stadium gives them. I'm not good with that.
 
Trenches. But he said they were heading for mediocrity, which sounds more like 6 wins and not 13.
I guess it depends on how you define mediocrity. In many Griz fans minds, mine included if I'm honest, mediocrity is: not beating the cats on a regular basis, and not having any realistic chance to win the nattty either. Now, I'm also willing to concede that's not the literal definition of mediocrity but it is to many of us.
 
He also had Gubner whose importance cannot be overstated
Everyone always says oh my we had gubner and yes he was all world and helped the d do its thing but that whole run was Bergen on special teams, people forget are defense wasn't all worldly and stopped Furman or ndsu to win the game instead it went overtime and at those time Bergen scored

We won't win with a 3-3-5, no one ever has

We need to reset and change it up, you know what I like!!! A bobcats defense that just stays at home everyone keeps everything in front of them and they don't have to do crazy blitzes try to throw the offense off, just good old defensive football "Nick Saban style"

How about we go to a 6-1 front?

So you believe the past 3 seasons have been mediocre?

Not sure who you’re arguing with. I hate the 3-3-5. I was just pointing out that the 1 good year we had with it was because of Gubs.
