Need to see more of Malik Grate and Nassir Green, and bit less of Ja'sir.
Need our DB coach to spend his free time recruiting better cornerbacks, because he sure isn't coaching up Taylor.
Clawson said it might be time to start getting other guys in the mix in the secondary, even if it means burning redshirts
I just trust DC I don't trust JS. Need to see if the D at Minnesota has improved and how much since he left
Sawvel was the DC at Minnesota in 2016 (he was the DB coach there from 2011 to 2015). The D at MN was ranked 32 in 2015, 20 in 2016, and 29 in 2017.
Sawvel came in with a pretty good reputation. It obviously hasn't carried over to Wake. It seems that the parts of the defense are competent in direct correlation with the level of coaching experience of the position coach.
D-Line coach - former D coordinator and assistant, P5. Assistant at MAC school.
Linebackers - 11 years P5 school.
Cornerbacks coach - FCS schools, Harvard
Safeties coach - FCS and D3 schools.
Safeties Coach - Hemphill - was Clawson’s hire. Old family fiend.
Which is why it’s strange some of those guys didn’t play in the second half last week.
Claw will right the ship. Speaking of ships, I figure we have 4 spots left. We need RB and DT depth. We need some TEs too.
RB could end up being a big priority if Beal ends up transferring. Dude deserves touches and he’s not getting them. Hope he stays, since he’ll be a huge piece of our offense next season but wouldn’t be surprised to see that happen.
