So I’m pumped about this hire

Now there’s a lot of stats to like with Hetherman but as we know stats can often be manipulated both good and bad

It’s just a different form of football in that conference

One thing I like to look at with DCs is how they fare compared to the other teams average offense per game (just looking at teams that matter)

So here we go:

Virginia Tech 223 (they had 394 against us)
VT avg 367.8

UNC 252
UNC avg 406.7

Iowa 334 (Minn had a -2 TO diff)
Iowa avg 328.8

Michigan 241
Mich avg 286.2

USC 373
USC avg 437.2

UCLA 329
UCLA avg 328.8

Maryland 427
Mary avg 386.3

Illinois 352
Illinois avg 364.8

Rutgers 349
Rutgers avg 382.7

Penn State 361
PSU avg 430.2

Wisconsin 166
Wisc avg 350.3


Quick analysis:

Expected yards given total = 4,070
Yards given up = 3,407

Roughly 60 less yards per game (Wisconsin really skews it)

Maryland was the main anamoly to the negative but it appears the majority of their yardage was gained after the game was 41-10 and the backups were in

As we know every game is different and each one tells a story so I like to look at the season this way and look for trends

Given that Minnesota is clearly not Miami when it comes to recruiting talent I thought this was pretty compelling (as far as stats go)

Awesome JHall. Great way to look at it.

And you're right Maryland had 250 yards after it was 41-10. Had mini meltdown that our new serial killer DC could stop every offense except Josh Gattis offense.

People were like yeah I bet it was from his racist comments back in 2015!

I’m like yeahhhh suuuurrreee ☠️
 
Great post. I look at this often as well.

I obviously have concerns, but there’s a lot to like here. Another thing I noticed about him that I like, he played QB his whole life. Played the position in college and started his coaching career coaching QBs. And then he started on the defensive side. I like when defensive coaches prep their whole lives on how to beat defenses, and then switch and use that knowledge to design defenses. They often know exactly how their opponent is going to try to attack them.

Do his defenses hit? Can they knock guys back and not get dragged for 3 yards? Can they lineup correctly? If those answers are yes we are light years ahead of this season.

This gato very likely would have put Miami in playoffs this past season.

Agreed. Sometimes things look good on paper and then two years from now we are saying **** like “culture fit” trying to figure out what went wrong

Good point about playing QB. I like that he has LB experience lord knows Miami has been down bad there for some reason

On paper his teams held the best teams they played all year pretty well under their averages despite likely being heavy dogs in each of them. That’s pretty cool to see.
