[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 843387, member: 282"] I don’t KNOW. It’s possible that Monken has just been lucky. I’m not saying that Monken has a top 10 defense—I’m just saying I’d expect it to be a lot worse than it is, and he punches a good bit above his weight. I only have a few tea leaves, and I’m probably reading too much into them [LIST=1] [*]Johnson said Monken would probably be a successful head coach because he’s ORGANIZED [*]Monken may not have world-beater defenses, but they’re performing above expectations, and significantly [*]Woody’s defense at Army is much better than it was here. [*]Bateman’s defense at UNC (and he’s just “co-DC” there) isn’t performing as far above expectations at UNC as it did at Army. [*]The DCs we’ve seen over the past 12 years have all done better at other stops—pre-GT and post-GT. [*]Groh, after leaving, described GT practices as being a mess. (I don’t have the full details. Some interpreted that as being bitter, but I think that there was an element of truth in it) [*]Our current practices have a reputation of being “fun” but having distractions. [*]Almost every coach occasionally brings out the day at the pool, ice cream cart, etc. [*]There seems to be a theme of efficiency and attention to detail in practices and preparation that is the hallmark of good defensive teams. It’s not the only thing, and there are a lot of organized coaches, but it’s a necessary thing. [/LIST] I think we ran the offense better when Monken was here, too. We came the closest to running the full playbook early in the CPJ tenure. There’s limited time to learn football in practice. You need to make the most of it. I think his organization and efficiency are part of the reason, but there are probably other factors I’m not guessing at. It could be luck, but maybe something else [/QUOTE]
