Marty English new UNC head coach?

You can have Marty English.. send us a box of cookies and he's yours. Or a DC that will send a blitz occasionally..

I'm surprised he isn't doing well there. Is he still recruiting? He did well at UNC when he was here.

Well, we curently have one of the worst defenses in the country. Our front seven have to load up to stop the run, but even then, our secondary often has to come up and make the stop. So Play action is absolutely murderous. Plus, our D-line barely gets ANY penetration on ANY O-line. :tickedoff:

That was the rumor LAST year. AND the year before that. Maybe 3rd time is a charm?

He doesn't have much left in Laramie, I think his kids are all graduated & gone from home (I could be wrong)...so it could be a possibility (even with the paycut).
 
I have enough confidence in and respect for Dave Christensen that I believe if he sees someone on his staff that is not getting the job done, he will make a move (unlike some coaches).

So what happened? Did he lose his recruiting touch? His play calling on defense sucks?

He blitzes no more han twice a game, even when proven effective when putting pressure on the QB, not to mention the D-linemen rarely, if ever, get ANY penetration into the offensive backfield, so the other team's QB has all day to throw the ball. The only way that they can stop the run, is by stacking up front to stop it, which includes the secondary. So yeah, his play calling on Defense sucks.
 
I am an English fan, don't get me wrong, it appeared as if he was the only disciplinarians on the old coaching staff. I like him as a LB coach. But Rocky Long could get more out of our defense, that was a great hire by SDSU, just saying.

True. Or even our old D-coach. You know, the one that had our D as the #4 defense in the nation back in 2006?

As for Long, I think he would be alright, though I'm not crazy about the 3-3-5 Defense.
 
I was just saying a good coach like Long that really knows defense, and in his case a unique one, can make quite a difference.

Our defense in 06 was so good because we had lock down corners that played tight, underrated linebackers like Claffey, and a few studs on the D line that could get after the quarterback. Really we had studs at all 11 positions, that was a very good defense. Just imagine if the offense could have moved the ball and hung onto it, their stats could have made them number 1.

Maybe you should spend some time looking into reasons instead of popping off from ignorance.
 
I'm watching Marty's teacher this year live in action.. his defense is ferocious and doesn't screw around. They're forcing turnovers like crazy. I'm watching Wyoming's defense from afar online when I get the opportunity and I can tell that the personnel in place isn't capable of getting the job done. In my opinion they don't have the killer instinct of a Breske defense. The game against San Diego State could have been won had we pressured a hobbled QB, but instead, we dropped into coverage anticipating them to throw it long. It was easy to pick a part the D at that point when the QB had all day to throw. The only time the Poke D really went for the throat is when they had Lindley backed up against the endzone and the D brought the wood and hit him hard. That should have been the mantra for the rest of the game. We don't have the horses on the d-line to consistently rush a four man front, but that's exactly what we're doing. Marty is/was a fantastic LB coach, but I have concerns about his ability as a coordinator. I had really anticipated him to step in Breske's shoes and the D wouldn't miss a beat, but that hasn't been the case.

ya I agree. I remember being excited watching the Mike Breske d do their thing. Marty just lacks in the play calling area and I think that was evident last year even when he had Breske's best D line at wyoming.

You are watching from afar, in other words you have no idea about what is going. Spend a little time getting information before you start blasting someone.
 
I disagree. But in the happy world of message boards, we're all entitled to our opinion. :thumb:

To make the accusations you make shows you lack of knowledge of the subject. There's no agree or disagree. It's a fact and you are too lazy to find out what is happening because it would require effort and you wouldn't be able to make your ignorant cheap shots.
 
So to have "said knowledge" one would have to not be "afar" and be able to witness this every week. Correct?
