[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 383140, member: 2299"] 1. I see no reason to believe dc #4 Will be any better than the first 3. And the evidence changes every year. Last year we heard time and time again about getting off the field on 3rd down. We improve greatly this year on exactly that and people change what is important. A few years ago it was about getting off the field and putting the game in the offense hands. Now it's about the defense needing to win the game for us. What makes you think the field goals won't be changed again? 2. The defense was no weaker than our offense this year and the special teams was way worse. But we change dcs which will make the defense that much less likely to continue to improve. However, when is Johnson going to address the terrible passing game we've had every year? OL issues galore. Special teams suck and have been mediocre for a while, except for a great kicker that covered some of the issues. 3. My problem isn't with the new dc. He'll probably do okay. My problem is that as long as Johnson is coach our defense will struggle because the offense we choose to run handicaps them along with a head coach that would rather be. Our defense this year was good enough that we should have won 10 games or at the very least 9. But the dc gets booted and the offense will stay the same. I fully expect the new dc to get the same treatment and for the defense to eat almost all the blame. For two years that blame will go back on roof and then it'll start to pile up on the new dc. 4. To some degree yes. Between the turnovers, the injury to laskey forcing a much better player to play, smelters situation, and an ol that we haven't come close to having before or after I don't see 2014 happening again. As far as last year goes it was a 9 win season where we didnt win our division, got beat handily by 3 teams, went 4-4 in conference and played a midlevel sec team in a bowl game. Good year but hardly a banner year. Meanwhile 2015 was completely unacceptable and this year was the second worst in two decades. Next year we'll have a new dc, probably new system to with him, a rb playing qb and the same bad passing game as always. 5. I loved the Johnson hire at the time and remember being happy because my dad was saying for years that he should have been picked instead of Chan. I still think he was the right fit at the time and could be now if a fire was lit under him and he was forced to adapt.
