I'm just going to say what I mean- I don't want Todd Graham to be fired. No, I don't think he's going to win an NC, but I think we've figured out the major flaw- He's not an HC/DC. He's an HC, and we need to spend a million bucks a year on our DC. Period. Furthermore, I'm a huge fan of continuity. I know what it means in the real world and I can only assume it means the same in CFB.
The difference in general defensive competency this year is huge, and it's one year. Next year looking really, really, promising. We basically lose 3 major dudes on defense and the RBs. There is a massive return for a team that more or less cobbled together a 6-3 conference record after starting horrible with noticeable, obvious defensive improvement.
If Wicker stays and Krump comes back healthy, they have the best defensive line west of the Miss. next year. They have the most talented WR west of the Miss. They have an experienced 3rd year, productive starter with experienced backups at QB.
