[QUOTE="aaeismacgychel, post: 2025539, member: 748794"] Eh, I'm not who you're replying to, but I think the Hamer stuff is overblown, personally. There's just a lot more hands in the pie it seems than say in football where if it's a system issue it's on the DC and if it's a unit issue it's on the position coach. From what we've heard, Chester is part of the defensive scouting, Brad runs the practices and institutes it, and Hamer, even if this defensive scheme is his brain child and does the detailed drills and coaching, the truth is, it's on Brad to realize it's not working and either override him, get him additional support, demote or backseat him, or even fire him. I joked at it before, but Bruce Weber is one of the best defensive coaches out there and he's currently chilling in the B10 studio right now... if this really is the issue, the only question would be how many emergency stash suitcases full of cash would Josh need to crack open to get Weber to accept the limousine ride to Champaign to finish the season as our defensive coaching specialist and fire Hamer into the sun. Obviously this won't happen, but the point is that Brad assembled his staff and gave them responsibilities. If it's not working, he needs to fix it with whatever best options are available. Putting all this on Hamer's shoulders just seems silly to me, even if this is his defense. [/QUOTE]
