It makes too much sense, the only question is whether he's here as a consultant before the season is done

Exactly, I don't get that excuse. It's coaching and talent evaluation. We need to essentially follow the Iowa and Wisconsin model. Run your system, play complementary football and find the right talent (not the most expensive or flashiest). If we can consistently win 8 or 9 a year with an...

No Doeren runs primarily a 4-2-5 at NC State that has a hybrid edge LB that is an "Elephant or Jack" LB. He ran a more traditional 3-4 when he was with Bielema at Wisconsin. Think the old Wisconsin 3-4 that Doeren and Leonard were amazing at. Honestly if we hire Doeren it will be a return to...

Yeah we ended up with a gimmick Defense to try and stay competitive and it isn't working. AHen might have been better than we thought. Credit to BB for building an offense that can live with this defense. It's going to be a tough year

Need to learn how to generate turnovers. This defense only works if you steal possessions we are not doing anything to make anyone turn the ball over.

Because he's really good at it

How Nike hasn't gotten on the Whitman vintage throwback jersey is beyond me.

I think money is pouring in, it's just not keeping up with the Joneses so to speak because we started so far back. 1000% more money for the Illini is less than the money scUM started with at the beginning of NIL

If they beat us for him as a freshman, we can come back and grab him when he transfers out as a Soph because they already have 5* or a higher touted Transfer.

Did we think that other schools wouldn't try and steal him?

I think we will, the more I look it seems like the 335 isn't as much of the traditional stack but more of an over that looks more like the 4-2-5 that Partridge would have played. The key is we will be able to hyde and roll coverages and pressures really well. As someone pointed out most of the...

He's definitely a SS that's great close to the LOS. I am hoping now that we are switching to 335 he can be that star nickel in that system where he is a slot defender/run stopping safety/blitzer

Gabe's 40 is irrelevant unless he is going to be on special teams. 3-cone, vert, and standing long jump is what is going to get him to move up draft boards.

It is pretty surprising with all the olds we just hired to the staff. I thought we were just going to stop recruiting all together because they couldn't talk to kids.

Hoping Hauck and the defense can bail out a young in experienced QB
