AUGoo 2,664 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 2 minutes ago, meh130 said: One other thing. I would not describe Avalos' defense as a "3-3-5", I would describe it as a "Hybrid/Multiple 4-2-5". I would also describe Kevin Steele's the same way. Some have described Steele's defense as a 3-4, because they consider the BUCK to be an linebacker, not a lineman. There are no true "3-4s" and "4-3s" any more. And you can't go by one-gap or two-gap schemes, because most defenses run both gap schemes, some at the same time. At times in the past, Auburn ran a "Bear Front" with Derrick Brown on the nose in a Zero-Tech, Marlin Davidson in a 4i, and the other DT in a 4i. Avalos and Jeff Schmedding use 4-3 terms like "DE", "NT", "DT", and "STUD". The STUD or "STand Up Defensive end" being like Muschamp's and Steele's "BUCK". And both will move interior linemen around in different gap schemes. Even "3-4" teams are running these hybrid schemes. Bama does a 4-2 look a lot against passing teams or on passing downs, but they usually 2-gap the interior guys in 2-Tech over the offensive guards, and will have the Jack OLB in a three-point stance with his hand down. Washington does something similar in their "2-4-5" pass rush package with a 4-2 look but stands up both OLBs. Dave Aranda did something similar with his nickel package at LSU. I think the one advantage a "4-3" style defense has is each player is a different archetype, which can make it easier to populate the positions. Big, but shorter guys are a good fit for the NT. Big, but taller guys are a better fit for the 3-Tech. Lighter guys are a better fit for the DE/SDE/5-Tech, and the smaller guys with burst speed are the fit for the BUCK/STUD hybrid position.

Guest SEC Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 On 12/23/2020 at 6:02 PM, drewzums343 said: Who should CBH hire as his coordinators? Assuming he does have autonomy. I had a few in mind. D coordinator 1. Will Muschamp- He's an SEC insider who can help CBH adjust to the conference. 2. Andy Avalos- Didnt get mario but maybe we could poach his DC, worked with CBH at Boise. 3. Kevin Steele- He's a solid D coodinator but I think we need to clean house if we are changing the culture in the locker room 4. Travis Williams- I think Coach T will would be a good option but like I said, we should clean house from Gus's staff. O Coordinator 1. Jeff Lebby- OC at Ole miss under kiffin, formerly the OC at UCF when they ranked top 5 in the NCAA 2. Eric Kiesau- If he decides to pull what Malzahn did with Lashlee and bring his OC with him 3. Kendal Briles 4. Mike Bobo Thoughts? I think any coach in the SEC needs solid coordinators assuming he lets them do their jobs unlike Gus. Kiesau has already worked in South with Nick Saban/Alabama and rumors were he was making most of the O-calls for Lane Kiffin a few years back when they won the national championship.

chizhead 618 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 On the rant, ole miss poster saying the ole miss board was saying that Jeff Lebby would be new OC for us. I sure hope so. My choice from the beginning and is supposed to be a good recruiter Edit: I just went to the OM 24/7 board and talk about delusional....Damn......It does appear to be some smoke coming out of Oxford with Lebby and the clowns on that board can't understand why?

He escalated but was not in a position to take action on anybody. That was a head coach and above issue. I guess he could have resigned in protest of how it was being handled or whatever but I am not sure many would have done that. I assume UCF and Ole Miss also saw it this way. I am interested to hear from those who may have done a deeper dive on this than I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is more Kiffen than Lebby. Kiffin is an alpha when it comes to offense...so Lebby, even though he has been identified as a very good recruiter, is probably a lot like Chip Lindsey or Rhett Lashlee was as 'OC'. Name yes...calling plays...no. And with Harsin being an experienced well rounded OC/HC...i am not worried about who he brings in as OC...to be honest.

DAG 33,983 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I have a feeling the staff is going to be filled with a lot on unrecognizable names that people will have to research, but people will overreact when it is not a "splash hire." I like the way Harsin is going about this. It seems to be really methodical. I am betting he is building a staff to deal with every little intricacy needed in running a successful program to his vision and not just hiring names. Our previous predecessor seemed to do that on the other side of the ball and seemed to also do that with his recruiting, as we often had quality players, who did not fit our vision.

That's just the way it happens with offensive genius's who become HCs. And Lebby would be similar with Harsin...IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
