And just like that I am back on the DC bandwagon for another season!

Last ditch effort for DC to save his job.

So? Mack Brown did the same thing, and that turned out pretty well.

Worth a shot, if our defense is worth 2 poop we should be about a 2 loss team

It might work. Might not. He needs to win 2 games and we play 3 pretty stout offenses....

Time to come out rejuvenated on D against Fresno. 2 weeks to prepare. Got to upset Fresno on ESPN. Play spoiler to their BCS run.

Before our Defense started playing real offenses and poop the bed against them, I thought we could manage 2-1 through these three. I still see Utah State as winnable, not predicting a win but we could do it. Fresno, there's always a chance but I'm a lot less optimistic about that one these last couple weeks

they have 2 weeks to retrain their entire defense. Color me skeptical. Just not seeing that this will make a difference.

Yeah I'm not saying we will win, its possible but I wouldn't say I'm confident about it.

The coaches are off recruiting for half the week too. I just don't see our secondary getting any better. We might blitz more.

Which, had we done that last week, we probably would be sitting pretty in our division right now

Maybe. Worked for a quarter. But the TE's were already killing us and it wouldn't have taken Fales long to us them on a CB or LB blitz.

You understand that despite a few different DC's, our defense under Christensen has always sucked, that he hasn't been able to make half time adjustments on either side of the ball and that special teams coverage has regressed under him, right?

Where, exactly does the buck stop as far as you're concerned? At what point do you hold Christensen accountable for this team?

[fromolwyoming]

I wonder who we get to replace him. Hopefully someone that actually knows defense other than "zone defense with 3-4 men rushing attack, ho!" all game long.

It's almost like you are cheering for us to lose so they can fire DC. Nothing wrong with trying to fight to win out even if he still gets canned at the end of the year. You'd rather he just roll over and forfeit the rest of the games?

Zone defense is killing us when our guys don't have any overlap in their zones. Need to play man coverage for a while I think.

I am one who does hold DC accountable, but it should be pretty obvious at this point that he's here, at least for the rest of the year.
