Need to find a new defensive coordinator in the offseason or this is the ceiling for our program. BB took a chance on Henry - who had only been a position coach for 2-3 seasons and never a coordinator. Well, it’s not working out.
This ain’t working. Have to put some pressure on him and hope he makes mistakes. He’s absolutely carving us up with all the time he has - doing whatever he wants throwing the ball or running. It’s playground football with no rush - hoping our secondary stays on receivers. Pathetic.
I have zero confidence in AH and this defense. Need to hire a defensive guru to help him or replace him. This will be ugly if Washington keeps moving the ball like this.
One last thing-this defense reminds me of Lovie Smiths defenses that were predicated on creating turnovers. They would give up vast swaths of territory in a bend don’t break zone-like approach and bank on the idea that they could strip the ball away or step in front of a pass to get the ball...
Need to go out and a get a proven defensive coordinator or co-coordinator if you keep Henry. This defense should be better than they are given the talent. Statistically giving up most total yards, passing yards, 138 YPG rushing to some less than elite offenses overall is crazy. And the same...
I once sat next to Coach Buh at the airport in Atlanta. He was coming back from a recruiting trip and was burning the phones for a solid hour as we waited for our delayed flight to board. I know it’s surface info - but my perception after listening to him talk to illini staff/HS coaches/ and...
How do you go from #1 defense in B10/nation last season to this mess. Near the bottom of B10 and one of largest declines defensively in the nation. So many mistakes and poor in-game decision making. Lunneys not the problem. Not sure how you bring Henry back. To save face-Bert will keep him and...
Need a point guard. Absolutely baffling that underwood couldn’t get one after last season’s mess. And Coleman Hawkins is still a turnover machine. Just careless with the ball.
This is the #1 reason we lost this game. Freaking prevent defense with safety not even in the picture at the end of the first half and the whole second half. Gutless coaching! Playing not to lose. Aaron Henry disqualified himself from coaching another game here. Pathetic. GUTLESS!!!!!
Never seen a more incompetent offensive coordinator who absolutely doesn’t have a feel for the game. 3 running plays in a row to try to get out of the end zone late in the 4th quarter, told you what you need to know about this idiot.
