If he was in the booth because of James Franklin, it makes sense now.

We should’ve known we’d have to clean off some Franklin stink with Allen first.

This should’ve happened sooner. This defense needs a vocal leader and “hype man” on the sideline to feed off of

Funny how fans have good ideas Coach.

The defense played winning football thru the first 3 games.

Literally should have been 3-0.

We had no idea the defense was going to be that bad against Syracuse. They were, and that’s why the decision was made for today.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Maybe so, but the onus on 1-3 prior to today was on the QB***

Because coordinators don’t “have their own staff”. Half the positions that people think would constitute “their own staff” were positions that didn’t even exist until a few years ago when the number of allowable positions changed. It’s one of the easiest ways to spot idiots who are just parroting nonsense they read online.

I can see it making a lot of sense if a coordinator has a staff that he has been working with for 5-6-7 years and they had been really successful during that time I can see wanting to bring them with him...

You seem to have inside info on the other defensive coaches so I assume you were observing up close

Yes his decision. Good coaches know what they need to do to right their ship. He is a good coach so he decided I am going to the field with my guys.

Im sure when they had that come to Jesus meeting during the bye week, Dabo told Allen to get his butt on the side line and do what your getting paid to do, put a foot up your boys behind and play some real defense. I don't know how anyone can effectively Coach sitting on their A$$ 150 feet from their boys. They still gave up a few chunks that should have been stopped. And after all, they were playing the worst of the ACC... SMU, DUKE, FL St, SC, you better get these guys ready to play some real defense!!!

The defense has not been the problem. Time of possession and terrible QB play have.

You must not have watched the same defense I watched againt Syracuse. Or any of the other games as far as that goes. Yes the offense has had major problems but the offense has as well.

Not really busts or bad plays just porous, slow, and ineffective. Troy couldn't be stopped apart from the QB throwing bad balls 3 times. No pressure, too much cushion in the secondary, LBs still out of position... this year has ran the whole gambit unfortunately.

So basically your are saying Dabo it lying when he just told us all that Tom Allen came to him wanting to go back to the field. You better check your pulse, it’s decreasing fast. Dabo is not a liar. If he doesn’t want to anwer the question he wont, but he is not going to lie about Allen requesting to go to the field.

Not sure who this was intended for, but No one is saying Dabo is a liar, If your boss called you into the office and said hey man I need you to start coming in to the office as opposed to working from home and getting your team back in shape, they're all running amuck. I think you can keep a closer eye on them here at the office and kick them in the keister when needed.. the emails just aren't getting the job done or getting their attention dude!!
