Our D might be worse than under Briles. That's really amazing.

This is inexcusable at this point. No progress or improvement from the defense for years from a defensive "guru"

Not only does the D lack talent, it also lacks recognition. The LBs might as well not even be out there. They fall for every fake in the book.

My point on program culture isn't about "locker room vibes." It's about talent retention.

But you clearly can't read.

A guy who has proven he can't win in the NIL era isn't the answer.

Fortunately, K-State's defense sucks almost as bad as ours. We're going to score a lot of points. Just need the defense to make a few stops.

Yeahh…no. Main qualities we need are somebody who instills tenacity in the team, has a niche (preferably offense) and has the charisma to engage and sell his vision to the big money donors. Everything else is gravy imho

This feels a lot like they 2010 season. We will lose a few we shouldnt and win a few we shouldnt. Great offense and mediocre defense.

It was/is a sub-mediocre defense in both cases, but I generally agree.
