Why did we get rid of Roberts again?

Phil Bennett put some ugly D's on the field but at least he had the excuse of Briles' offense scoring so quickly.
Our D now is barely FCS level. How on earth you go into 2024 with Powledge as DC, I'll never know.
For all the crap Phil Bennett got, he at least understood how to have a D that was an adequate complement to Briles point a minute offenses. No, he didn't coach shutdown defenses but he got the job done well enough to for us to still get a LOT of W's.
We gave up 70 to West Virginia and oftentimes had to score 50 to 60 to win games. Adequate compliment????

It's spelled "complement". Means to complete as opposed to saying something nice about another person. By my count we won 57 games over the 6 seasons he was our DC which included the season we needlessly self destructed which is an average of 9 1/2 wins per season. No, I'm not giving him total credit by any stretch - just saying he was good enough given the offenses he complemented (note the spelling).
By the way, as long as we're picking on individual games two of the teams you played on lost to Alabama by a combined score of 75-2.
