Mario, the HC, isn’t responsible for any of the defenses shortcomings because he is the HC & isn’t the DC? Is that what you are saying? If not, I apologize. Just trying to understand.

When you see all the mistakes by the defense on game day, whose fault is it? Is that the HC or the DC? If you say HC, then did you say the HC had a great defensive plan on game day last year? They can't be different. They have to be the the same person getting praise as the one getting the blame. The blame is rhetorical.

I think a HC is responsible for everything that happens in a program. It is Y3, these are his coaches and his players. Mario Cristobal is responsible for everything that happens on Saturdays, good or bad.

That's on a much higher level. He doesn't coach the defense and he doesn't call the defensive scheme. Fans just pass the blame because it's convienant to their emotions. As I stated, fans don't praise the UC when the defense plays great. Therefore he is not the blame either.

There isn’t nearly enough talent on this defense. That’s on Mario. Our entire secondary runs 4.7.

Those fans you speak of may not, but I do. Again, the good and the bad. It all falls under the head man. Just like I give him credit for being stubborn and persistent with Ward and giving him the keys, turning his offensive reputation around and us having the best offense in America.

And I GUARANTEE you, Mario would tell you the same thing about him ultimately being responsible for all of this.

He’d also tell you his secondary stinks. But we don’t even need him to say the quiet part out loud. Look at his recruiting class and targets.

Mario is NOT and NEVER has been an OC or a DC. Dan Lanning at Oregon has been a DC for several years and is involved with his defense. If his offense plays well or doesn't play well, he doesn't get the blame or the praise. Ryan Day at Ohio State has been an OC and calls his offense. He doesn't get the blame or the praise for his defense.

If you want to to criticize personnel, then fine. He doesn't coach those players. If you blame Mario, then you're basically saying we need superior talent on defense to beat mediocre offenses.

If you want to blame Mario, then you blame him for the hires. Just remember, you, me, and everyone else were praising the hires last year. To blame him now, is just hypocrisy.
