defensive stats

First and foremost, these are stats -- not bashing. I love that Chizik is our head coach. I'm just pointing out that maybe it's not all Roof. What's your take on these stats?

From al.com and MrSEC.com,

Auburn has allowed a defensive touchdown every 19.5 plays (eighth in the SEC) compared to one every 45 plays for Alabama (tops in the SEC).

For the fourth straight year as a head coach, Gene Chizik is on pace to have a scoring defense of 23 points or more.

Prior to becoming a head coach, Chizik went six straight years at Texas, Auburn and Central Florida with out allowing 19 points or more per game.

If your point is that Mr Roof might not have a wealth of talent to work with, then I would tend to agree.  The comparisons between Chizik as a HC and as a DC and between Chizik and Saban (AU vs Bama) are somewhat misleading and, IMO, someone's feeble effort to stir the pot.

I love stats, because they don't lie, but I'm not sure I see your point.  Are you implying that CGC got worse as a defensive coach when he was promoted to head coach, or questioning his hires of D-coordinators?

Most likely explanation to why his defenses as a head coach haven't been as good as they were as a D-coordinator at AU and TX may be talent level.  I'm sure he hasn't forgotten how to coach.

Where did you come up with these figures. We have allowed 24 td`s in 567 plays. That`s closer to one every 25 plays. Not saying it is great but your #`s are off a little.
