I really don't think it's a huge factor. We only play against our offense in camp and in the spring. The rest of the time we are in the same boat as everyone else using scouts to replicate other offenses. IMO it pretty much is an even swap.

It's easier to pull a rope than push one!

I don't know if Roof made any major changes in scheme after UNC or not. Coaches tweak schemes on a daily basis. Somebody said we wouldn't ever change to make recruiting easier and I agreed. That's why we have personnel difficulties. The stats you brought up are what they are. I don't care what...

Your a piece of work dude. Stats are what they are. I don't pay alot of attention to them. They never tell the whole story. We haven't been good on defense. It's not mainly due to coaching.

If you want to look at stats then it is what it is. I prefer to look at head to head and wins and loses.

Well I don't put a lot of stock in those kind of statistics but I believe we are what we are. The stat that matters to me is wins and loses. I think we've done better recruiting for last three years but we won't know until we get going. We always seem to have a hard time putting together...

No, I'm not missing the point. We aren't as good personnel wise as those guys.

It's definitely read and react.

I'm not sure what you mean. Scheme rarely confuses the other coach. It's stopping the scheme that's the difficult part. There's only so many ways to try to create a pass rush. The limitations of the coverage people dictate how much of that you can do. Usually if you're having to fool a bunch of...

I agree but if we don't want to change that and we don't want to bring our salaries in line with the factories then we shouldn't hold our coaches responsible for producing like one!

I don't know, when was it we lost all those dlinemen in the off season? We've never had the depth we needed at DL. I don't know that that is a fair conclusion to draw. We usually don't have as many chances over the course of the season as others. I do agree we need to be better.

Listen please. If they can block all your guys one on one then you're in trouble. As Coach Johnson says there are no majic schemes. It comes down to blocking and tackling. It's all about numbers. You can work on every kind of blitz known to man but if you can't get there you're burnt. At some...

We have too many limitations in recruiting. I've watched it. Most college coaches go to the field house when they get to a high school. Tech's go to the guidance office. It's tough and getting tougher. I've seen us unable to recruit those guys who now play on Sunday even if they had Tech ties.

We are doing what our personnel dictates. Its a numbers game. It all starts up front. You need to have someone to draw a double team whether run or pass. If you do it gives you a numerical advantage. I don't want to get into the business of evaluating individual players and I hate the idea of...

I don't evaluate, drill or determine playing time for these student athletes. I have watched them drill. Have you? I have talked to Coach Pelton about what he teaches and sat in his clinic talk and watched video of the drill technique he teaches. Have you? In fact I've done that hundreds of...

We do come with pressure and mix up coverages and really did more of that last year and hopefully more this year despite what others want you to think. The thing is you have to do is determine on a week to week basis how much you can do. A lot depends on the match ups both on the los and rec/db...

My film grading days are over. That's the last thing I want to do now. I can tell you that there are plenty of bad coaches out there. Many I've worked with or dealt with in a recruiting capacity. I will tell it like it is when asked about those as well as those who are great coaches. If I don't...

I really don't want to put down players but the DL knows we have trouble getting to the passer by defeating one on one blocks. By the same token we have trouble pass protecting one on one on offense. Offensively we employ a much different scheme than others that makes up for the difference. On D...

Slow is right.

His knowledge of offense and defensive play are rudimentary. This is stuff everyone knows. 4 deep coverage for example gives underneath pass plays up. If you man up it just takes one weak link to create a quick score. Our DL personel can be handled one on one in pass protection so most of the...
