Something that hardly gets mentioned is recruiting. We got a major upgrade in that department. When the leader of your defense doesn't go out and recruit, it's a bad look. I know if I was on that staff, it would certainly raise a few questions with me. Recruiting is the lifeblood of a program. It's not a matter of want to. It's a matter of HAVE TO.

Jeff - Elko probably didn’t mention the loss to Texas because he thought his guys did play their best in the second half, we just still kicked their ass.

He is a monster. Can't wait to see him in burnt orange.

Somebody chose VIOLENCE 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can definitely see this

The first part of your post is something people need to highlight, print out and save. I've said as much this offseason. The reward is worth the risk, but there's risk involved.

I think it was that the front end and the back end of PK's defenses didn't tie together the way Sark wanted. It's not one singular thing, but Sark wanted the pass defense to be tightened up.

I'm going to need two or more to get through today. A big day tomorrow with the Longhorns in Tampa.

I like the Muschamp hire but we will have to be patient as there will be more big plays given up by our D due to taking more chances on creating havoc plays. I believe that the more aggressive style will lead to more turnovers which should more than offset any big plays given up. Also mentioned above is that our D should allow offense to posses the ball more, leading to more scoring. In Will I trust.

Yes.

I think is probably the best answer to the question. Having to constantly look for a passing game coordinator to tie in the back with the front is not an easy task. Consistency and cohesion is probably what Sark was looking for.

I can see OSU 2025. Their schedule was pretty weak too. Bama - I don’t remember who was on that team. I remember the offense moreso. Georgia - was it the secondary or a dominant front? Bama and Georgia each had a 5 year window in which their overall talent completely overwhelmed most opponents. May be why the names don’t just jump out at me.

Sark didnt trust him because the bend but dont break defensive approach kept Sark’s offense off the field. I think it is as simple as that. Sark would probably rather give up a quick touchdown on a broken coverage and get the ball back as opposed to having the offense sit for 5-7 minutes PLUS the ridiculous new commercial breaks. That can really take away momentum from the offense.

I’m curious what you think is elite. The QBs and WRs faced in 2024 were mediocre at best. And that’s only cause we made a deep run into the playoffs.. When we played competent teams, they did reasonably well. Clemson hit for 300+ passing and 3 TDs. Michigan and UF didn’t even throw out D1 QBs. The two turnovers had a bit to do with the UW loss. No sacks. But talk about competence. The tackles have started in the NFL. 3 WRs drafted, pretty highly too. One TE ran a sub 4.5 40. The other is in the NFL. The center just got drafted. The QB a top 10 pick. My point is that defending teams is more difficult when the offensive competence and skill increases. The 2024 defense was great, but our regular season opponents had poor offensive talent. Even the playoff contenders had some kinks offensively.

Crazy. 🤪 PK historically has need a strong secondary coach as he is pretty hands off there. WM is a stem to stern DC. It matters in the cohesion of the defense. It’s also one voice vs 2 in many ways.

anOSU 2025. Bama 2020. Amongst others are examples of elite secondaries. Georgia is in there also. 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Why? Our 2024 secondary was elite. The others weren’t. Our 2023 secondary was porous and was the reason we lost to Washington.

They are one of three new sponsors for the entrance gates at DKR. Specifically Gate 8, NW corner of DKR. Announcement was in email to season ticket holders recently.

Great stuff Jeff. Love the Juluke quotes.

Out of curiosity, name some elite secondary’s.
