Mind Character Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Once a coach always a coach, but it is interesting that Pagac has been out of football for 3 years or so. Woods must have a profound respect for his coaching and teaching ability. Here's to hoping he's been staying up to date with current trends.

I'd look very much for it to be more fit based, ala Luke Fickell/Mark Dantonio at UC/MSU. I'd look for us to have a true MIKE LB with a sideline to sideline will, and then either a 2 down SLB with a nickel/box player on 3rd downs or a hybrid. He will emphasize interior gap integrity and edge setting. @BleedTheClock this is exciting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no ungodly idea why teams have decided to go away from this recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it going to be the Wade Phillips 3-4/4-3 Hybrid, the Quinn/Carroll/Saleh Seahawks 43 with 2 high, or more of what the VIkings did when Woods was there.

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Pagac looks to be the “been there, done that” guy on the defensive side of the ball, much like Callahan on the offensive side. Always good to have a few geriatrics around, amirite @sdrawkcab321? Seriously though, guys that have been around the game as long as these dudes have seen a lot.

People have panicked over new spread concepts and gone almost exclusively to funneling to the edge, which is great if you have a great SS AND great WLB, to go with a MIKE A/B fitter, but unbalanced formations and late motion can really wreck this.

I'd personally bet on almost an exclusively even front when the WLB can push back and/or the SLB can have his hand in the dirt some too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Who in the heck is getting the Assistant Head Coach title? Callahan didn't receive it in the press release event there's stories of him having the office right next to Stefanski's. Is there a big fish out there we're saving that title for, and who could it be? Could it be Wade? Is it going to be announced as Callahan at a later date? What's is happening?

Maybe just saving it for when it’s actually needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys are ALL from the same coaching tree and defensive gurus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But an Assistant Head Coach designation is standard on almost all coaching staffs. So, in that light it would be surprising to not have one on staff; thus, my questioning of what's in the offings and if it could be something exciting.
