As long as he stays away from UK LB coach, I don't.care who y'all get! Hope it's a good one though! Always kinda had a soft spot for WVU(in football alone)
We just hired Catholic's coach as an analyst... same team that 4* QB plays for, haha!!

His offense sucked at tech. Maybe dumbo ears Tubberville was the reason though.
Dude, y'all dropped 49 on us (49-14) w/ him, and we were ranked 5th coming in to W. Texas...
Windy, or something, lol!!

Good coach, he was good at TTU.. Just got left in the dust by Tubbernuts. I have kept up with him a little since then.

Excited for CNB...
New blood. Some interesting off-season talk. Curious about the change in D.
It's run....kinda the point.

Everything I've been reading says that he is. Finally, at long last the 3-3-5 looks to be dead as our base defense. We might see it in certain situations ect. but I for one am glad to see it go. If it were THAT good, everyone would be switching to it all over CFB, football is a copy cat sport, when something works people tend to steal it and use it (see RichRods spread option ect.) but the 3-3-5.... see it here and there and in certain packages vs certain teams ect. but not as a base scheme. Good riddance
Yep...NOT a base defense.
Has it's uses...
Patiently optimistic here.

If Vic Koenning comes with him which I hope he does he runs a 4-2-5

He did.

And honestly it was more of a 4-1-6 as one of the two linebackers is usually safety sized.

In 2007 DeAndre McDaniel was a first team All-ACC Freshman at Safety. In 2008 Koenning moved him to linebacker where he had a decent season but didn't have anywhere near the same production. When Kevin Steele came in after Dabo got the full time HC job McDaniel moved back to Safety where he made first team All-ACC both his Junior and Senior years.

Was listening to his presser... he said he's not married to one scheme. Shit, I love the guy already, lol! Matt Moore came along as well. I like the way the staff is filling out.

I liked Koenning overall, certainly liked him better than Steele, but he'll frustrate you at times when his "bend but don't break" defense goes ahead and breaks.

Yeah, I remember that w/ Jeff Casteele's D. People said before we got him it's a "high risk, high reward defense". I'm thinking, high risk in the B12 isn't good.

Don't get me wrong...it's going to work far more often then not. I think Koenning will do a good job for y'all.

Playing defense in this conference is high risk, might as go for the reward also.
