Urban Meyer always rewarded and encouraged ST over any other aspect of the team
He let the ST players get on and off bus and eat first at Florida and Ohio State
Brehs like Percy Harvin and Janoris Jenkins were begging to play ST

He also had more input and effort into recruiting defensive side of the ball than offense
He hired Dan Mullen (UF) and Tom Herman (OSU) to be the OCs and worry about the offense

Teams were always built to stop in-conf opponents from getting 25
All his dominant seasons were when he had formidable defense


OSU with 3 straight ranked to end 2014. Alabama had 14 in Q1, but scored only 14 more til 2mins left in the game. Oregon was obviously dominant

2008 Oklahoma set NCAAF record with most consecutive games averaging 60. Bradford won Heisman

This is how opponents fared against 08 Florida

If you wanted a coach who values D/ST, Meyer would be your guy

I have concerns about how well the stern disciplinarian approach to coaching kids translates to managing egos in a locker room of millionaire men, but he's always built his teams and had them prepared strongly in the areas we have been lacking in for 2 decades

Riley is the offensive guy and I feel his coaching style and approach would translate easier to the pros. He wouldn't necessarily be instilling an entire culture and revamping more than half the team. Riley would come in and put his fingerprints all over our offense, imo. But the defensive and ST fukkery would continue as long as Richard was here and Jerry didn't make drastic changes to ST.

Sickening

Different DBs

Different Assistants

Different Schemes


What is the constant here :patrice:

Coaching is a big part of it, especially when you see these guys constantly playing with their backs to the QB. It drives me crazy. They’ve also been horrible drafting corners. We haven’t drafted a bonafide ball hawk since Mike Jenkins in 2008. I’d put Jourdan Lewis in that class but he hasnt really gotten the opportunities.

Byron Jones sitting here with 2 career interceptions in 5 seasons :hhh:

At some point, getting INT's is really about how bad a player wants the ball. They don't want the ball period. They don't take chances. They don't have that mentality.

Here are the player responses to Jerry's postgame comments. The man is a disease on this franchise.

Zeke: "We're worried about winning the ball game. We're not worried about the outside noise. We can't let anything distract us."

Zach Martin: "Being part of the Dallas Cowboys, you get kinda used to it (distractions), this locker room does a good job of not getting caught up in that kind of stuff."

Travis Frederick: "I don't have time to be thinking about things like that, I have to get ready for the game."

Heath: "We kinda take that personal because it's the players that have to execute."

Lewis: "We can't worry about that."

Well the squad need stop playing like a bunch of pretty boys out on the field and start playing like some dogs.
His players infering that his comments are "outside noise" and "distractions" is telling about how they view him. They know this man loves the attention and is a joke. This team been playing like soft cowards for almost a decade. He had the opportunity to change things but didn't now he's throwing a hissy fit to the media when he realizes the window is closing.
