Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
Yeah, because it's not like Muschamp dropped Sergio into coverage all the time? 🙄

BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
I feel like I'm the one who started it, but this discussion has gone weird places. Muschamp isn't Wink or Venables, either. PK's defense was basic in the sense that he brought a handful of tools to the season and made sure the players could execute them at an elite level so that it didn't matter if the offense knew what we were doing 80% of the time. This doesn't mean Muschamp is buck wild. He puts more tools in his toolkit. I feel like they are both on the "players make the plays" end of the spectrum, though.

2025-26 CFP General Discussion
It does make a shit because his premise is wrong. Those teams would have actually been in the playoffs in the system that he is arguing against. In fact, Boise State would have been in several times that decade. They weren't the equivalent of George Mason - more like Gonzaga.

Boise State and Utah were ranked in the top 12 those years.

Dude, Gideon has been here for 9 months and there's not a high standard to be considered successful.

I would disagree that Muschamp will be more physical defense than a PK or tell his players to take dumb risks, and it's not what I meant by a "more complex defense with more aggression." I think coverage is actually more telling for overall complexity, because it causes more ripples across a defense.- BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
No, but it's one of the easier measures to find about playcalling. I think people just confuse sound defense with aggressive (they are usually opposites), or like hard-hitting LB aggression with defensive philosophy aggression. Punching balls out and jumping passes aren't inherently indicative of an aggressive philosophy on defense.- BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
I don't think we have advanced stats from then, but no. They had a dominant front 4. Very low blitz rate, Cover 2. Essentially, the last notable Cover 2 defense.- BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
But to seriously respond to this. Take a perfect DC who knows exactly when he needs to be aggressive to beat an offense: - this DC will not do much with an outmatched defense because he knows none of his players can execute anything beyond simple and the offense will exploit any openings he creates - this DC will use aggression and complexity to cover up his defensive weaknesses with strengths when his defense has both, relative to the offense's weaknesses and strengths - this DC will not do anything to compromise the soundness of his defense when he knows his players can defend everything the opposing offense can throw at them And, like, we can look at Tech, Toledo, Texas, Mizzou, SMU from this year and see that the good defenses tend to be the most simple. That doesn't mean necessarily that Oklahoma/Michigan don't exist, either. And we just know from advanced stats guys that blitz rate and coverage diversity tend to increase a defense's EPA.- BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return

The greatest defenses of all time are decidedly both simple and passive. They are well-coached and lean on being elite at a few things. Think Legion of Boom.- BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
No, not necessarily. The best and worst defenses tend to be simpler and more conservative.- BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
I was poking fun at the people grasping at straws to rationalize that PK wasn't good during his time here. Muschamp was good, PK was good. I expect the defense will change more due to personnel overturn than coaching. But I do expect a more complex defense with more aggression.- BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
Yes, but also notice the CBs 7 yards back and dropping at the snap.- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
I just ordered one last week at a place I've never been to in Phoenix and the bartender made sure to point out they didn't have rye and asked if a bourbon was okay. But you probably do order more martinis than me,- 2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
I'm no purist and think people can enjoy bourbon manhattans and vodka martinis. But if you order a martini it will come with gin by default and if you order a manhattan it will come with rye by default. - BOOM MOTHER FUCKER - Will Muschamp's Triumphant Return
