[QUOTE="AugustaSwarm, post: 964728, member: 3493"] It goes back even further than this season. Outside of a few games last year and one game this year, the defense is one of the worst in college football. It IS the worst defense in power 5. We have been terrible on D ever since Thacker showed up and the trend is getting worse! If we are going to blame the players and say "but we lost Charlie and Ace and Keion", then you're telling me that Thacker's defense is garbage unless he has NFL talent. We all know that we're not gonna recruit 5 stars, so clearly Thacker is not the guy for us since his defense requires elite talent. Personally, I don't buy that argument. I think Thacker's defense is too soft and his play calls are too predictable. Soft coverage + no pass rush + predictable blitzes + poor tackling = worst defense in power 5 conferences. I agree that how the team responds from this embarrassment is crucial. However, accountability is still your in order. Thacker has been here for long enough with more than enough time to field a decent defense. We're getting worse and it's time to move on. It's likely better to wait for the off-season. Either way, something has to change - whether it's now or in January. If Key can't pull the trigger, then he's part of the problem too. (I say that while loving the hiring of Key and fully believing he's our guy) [/QUOTE]
