🏈 Saban speaks out on defense in today's era (from Louisiana High School Coaches meetings.)

[TerryP]

I ran across a tweet earlier today from the "voice" of LSU pre-post game...it was along the lines of I'd rather have any coach than Saban talking to high school coaches. Setting that aside...

CNS speaks on today's offense and defenses:

 

['65 Cobra]

One of his greatest traits... being able to adapt to, and take advantage of, changes instead of just digging his heels in.

 

[94 Grad]

That is a great clip.

So smashmouth offense and stifling defense pretty much died with the BCS Era.

Basically.

The diamond sports are about the only place you see true defense. 'tis what it is.

 

[TideatMileHigh]

Rules that needlessly muzzle defenses are detrimental to the game of football.

So defensive coordinator pay will decrease?

In a perfect world, that'd be nice.

However, rule changes that favor offenses unfortunately requires new defensive standards.

In what world did any of us ever perceive that holding opponents to less than TWENTY PPG would still make us #1 defense in our league?

<20PPG is the new standard, unfortunately.

I still don't like it but I will get over it while we keep racking up NC trophies .

Just as a side note here.

As I recall from last season out of the top 10 highest paid assistant coaches in college football seven were defensive coordinators. Sark, Chaney, and Yurich were the three offensive guys. USA Today has the database.
