    If last staff did real measurements KD Davis was closer to 5’10 than 6’. Brandon Garner was listed as 5’11 and had a great career also. And neither had half the offers that Brandon Jones has received. 

    Not worried about the height. But we continually talk about being undersized and how this 3-3-5 system needs larger LB. The kid is a player but he would still be considered severely undersized if he added 40 lbs.

    Agreed  I understand giving FBS position coaches the opportunity to advance, but lets earn some stripes as a DC at the FCS level maybe make a few friends along the way (get an up on the portal entries) But we give Caponi the bus keys and he loads it with anyone willing to leave Ames for Denton as defensive staffers  All experienced with a defensive scheme we again don't have the personnel for  Then hire a UH assistant that's never ran a room to coach our front  So even if we axed or demoted our DC the remaining crew will be no different  

     

    Agreed- but if it continues the HC has to step in and bring in a consultant— status quo will be difficult to overcome. If the personnel shift isn’t signed in the December period then he needs to be let go.

    Its not the DC fault, he knows the 3-3-5.  He's coached a position group for this defense, he doesn't have the experience to run any other.  The 3-3-5 will work but you must have the right personnel and safeties and linebackers that can tackle in the open field.  We have neither. And although we have excellent facilities good juco and portal entrants have better opportunities. 

    Thank you for emphasizing my point. 
    1. not having enough experience. 

    2. not being able to get the type of players needed. 
     

    If you don’t have the experience to do something else or run what you know without a specific type of player, then maybe, just maybe, you weren’t the one for the job. I don’t have a problem with a position coach being given an opportunity to move up but experience required to adjust should be expected. Maybe he will get the type of player needed  but rolling the dice on a one trick pony hasn’t worked so far.
