New DB coach???

[Bobby Burton]

Fellas, there were no Jahdae Barrons or Andrew Mukubas playing for the Horns yesterday. And when you lose Jelani McDonald and don’t have Michael Taaffe, well, you can be had.

My point?

It’s not coaching.

It’s talent and/or inexperience.

Why aren’t pur backups as good as our experiences starters? Lol.

It also doesn’t seem Derek Williams is back to 100% or to the level he was playing at last year

Unpopular take: I’ll let Sark and PK figure it out. 

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

At the end of the season yes.

Consistently giving 8 yard cushions while playing bail technique is on the coaches.  PK automatically playing prevent defense when we have anything more than a 7 point lead is coaching.  PK just plays soft in the secondary.

From what I understand PK calls the defense, the secondary coordinator is in charge of the alignments and coverages on the back end.  Requires good coordination between the two units. Missing players shouldn’t excuse poor basic zone play.

That 4th and 19 conversion from the Vandy 1 really was disappointing. Not sure how that can even happen.

Given Akina’s history, I doubt he is calling this much zone.  Akina (and Nansen for that matter) believe in man coverage.  PK is your zone man.  The only reason to play zone against Vandy is to keep eyes on Pavia.  That doesn’t mean that you have to play so far off receivers though.

The fact that we never covered stowers who was their best receiving threat is simply unbelievable. He was wide open all the time. Terrible game plan

[Steamboat Willie]

Obviously Akina isn’t a long term solution for many reasons.
