Realistic Thoughts on New Defence...

[greenEGnHAWGS]

What is the realistic time it takes to implement a new DC's defensive system? I'm just thinking that next year is a very important year for CBB and this staff, but what is a realistic expectation for our defense with a new DC?

We looked pretty good in Robb Smith's first year right?

Next years #1 excuse, it takes a while to change your defensive style.  We are not going to flinch. #Uncommon

a lot will depend on how many assistants change out . if he brings his staff , it will go faster

I want a guy who will make players accountable for their play. if they are not getting it done, bench them.  tired of watching guys miss assignments, loaf, or quit on the field, and still play

With a few NFL players left over. The next guy won't be so lucky.

This is my only reason for the OP - why would someone come here knowing that he very possibly has only 1 year to show improvements with one of the toughest schedules in the country, cuz CBB will be on the hot seat if he doesn't win next year. And if CBB goes, then a new coach will probably bring in his own guys.

The fan hot seat will be turned up much higher than the hot seat that matters. AD's are paid to be more rational and ticket sales are offset by TV $.

Not to mention he is a good fit and the program won't do much better.

CBB has two years unless their is a major collapse

Realistically, at best, the offseason plus the first 4 to 6 games of next year.  However, I'm not sure how much worse it could be anyway.

Depends on how complicated the new guy's scheme is.  Duh.

Also depends on the staff getting it all down straight away.  Anyone who is working at that level should be able to coach anything but being on the same page and the same verse while using the same cadence and tempo seems to be key to a fast start.
