Ranger12 46 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Four things... 1. Do we really think EJ just all of a sudden forgot how to coach defense? Obviously he had to go, but is there any part of you that is concerned that it won't be a quick or easy fix...what's the last d coord that was good at auburn? 2. Sabans defense gave up 600 yards last night. Maybe playing the style we do is detrimental to a lights out defense that we desire. 3. We do not need a huge contract for whomever comes in. 4. If garner were to leave, that's a huge loss...he is our main recruiter. Just a thought. I'd bet we would lose a big recruit or two... I'm not asking for a quick fix. Hell we don't need a shut down defense. We just need players to be in position and not leave opposing receivers wide open. Just asking to see the defense show signs of being able to stop someone on occasion. If Garner leaves then so be it. He's not the only man that can recruit. As for possibly losing one or two, that would depend on who the replacement was. Exactly. Offenses have changed in a way that we might not ever see defenses capable of shutting them down. However, you still can have a defense in which the OL puts pressure on the QB and the LBs and secondary know how to tackle and cover receivers. Johnson seemed to have a problem adjusting his defense when necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltigger21 0 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Gus is going to move fast. I think there was a hire already in place when they let EJ go. I'm sure that this has been on his mind for a while. He is likely on his way to talk to someone face to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful but there have likely been some feelers put out to gauge interest and maybe even a conversation or two between Gus and a potential DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,995 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm not keen on Shannon. He's a good LB coach, but no experience as a DC, managing position coaches. Would be glad to see Rhoades come back, but he's a head coach now (although not a very successful one). Muschamp -- why would he give up his $2 million plus per year payout from UF for a coordinator position? Garner -- no, please. UGA fans are still applauding Auburn for hiring him and complaining about the terrible excuse of the DL he left behind. My choice -- D.J. Durkin has worked with Muschamp for years and was DC under him. He's learned the job and knows how to build a good defense. And he has very solid recruiting relationships in Florida and Georgia, so he can bring in players immediately. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put together some great defenses. Just didn't measure up as a HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
