I think Shoop is a good DC. Between the staff catastrophe and injuries he wasn't playing with a fair deck. Time to prove me right.
He didn't do a good job improvising last year. Plan A didn't work (because complicated scheme and injuries) so he just decided to be ok with sucking is what I saw. Hopefully, Plan A will work this year.
Eh, I saw a bunch of bodies at linebacker and no defensive tackles. There was a problem with the scheme, but talent was a big issue too
Being a spilling team with the line doing BDSD, and the secondary struggling on force, and sucking at linebacker on scraping over killed us.
Not having any linebackers ready to play is a coaching problem. We've stacked that position with highly rated recruits but developed none of them. The only decent linebackers we've ever had in the Butch era were good when they set foot on campus.
If he has a bad year this year with a better staff and more than likely better luck with injuries I 'll retract my previous statement. Willie freaking Martinez was coaching the secondary.
I agree with you, despite the fact that he managed to take a bad situation and turn in into a pile of shit last year.
