I went and looked up his defenses at Nebraska and Syracuse. I am not going to break him down as a potential canidate. He runs a 3-3-5 defense which means you would need to change your personal.
Nebraska Scoring Defense (2024) 19th
Passing Defense (2024) 52nd
Rushing Defense (2024) 14th
Total Defense (2024) 19th
Yards Per Play 54th
Interceptions (2024) 47th in the nation
Fumbles (2024) 84th in the nation
Sacks - (2024) 5oth in sacks
I am looking at Nebraska stats for 2024 and honestly it is quite depressing. There is nothing about this hire that I like. Will he be a head coach (Not sure I can Check this box). Coached in the ACC (Syracuse-Never the SEC). Have no idea what type of recruiter he is. His defenses at Nebraska this year did not create turnovers. If you are not creating turnovers it is a no go for me. They don't get sacks. So let me get this straight no pressure on the QB, no turnovers, average pass defense. May as well keep Adam Fuller. I think this hire would be questionable. I would rather wait and take a run at Purdue head coach who got fired. I rather take Jay Valai, I rather take the SMU coach. To many question marks IMHO.
