[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 566526, member: 1045"] I am saying that, until we hired Woody, I don't think CPJ ever got his first choice D coordinator because the school did not want to shell out the money. I am saying that I do believe that the spread option offense was partially to blame for our defense because (1) it hampered our ability to recruit, (2) it limited reps for our first team defense against a traditional first team offense in spring and fall practice, or, more likely, both. I am also saying that it is fair to criticize CPJ for only being an average recruiter and not getting enough talent. I am also saying it is fair to criticize CPJ for taking too "hands off" approach on the D, as he was head coach, not just the offensive coach. So, yes, I am 100% saying that I lay blame on our poor defense on CPJ during his tenure. I have no doubt of that. What I am not saying, and what I think is silly, is the idea proposed by the OP that our defense was hamstrung by CPJ because he (1) took too much of a hands-[B]on[/B] approach and micromanaged his D coaches or (2) forced his D coaches to play too conservative. IMHO, those particular criticisms are silly, revisionist, and contradicted by every single public statement he made here over his tenure. [/QUOTE]
