Just wanna let you guys know that if I get the job there's gonna be some changes.

*We'll be multiple, but when we run a 3-4 we'll be using the 1-gap variant.
*I'm running with McCord or AQM at the weak DE/OLB spot at all times. Every down.
*Jenkins and Bush are the Safeties. Highsmith and/or Rogers will only be used in a pinch
*We're gonna use combo coverages. Man + zone on the same play.
*A lot of pre-snap movement.

Wish me luck guys.

Sounds like a good start.
Also, please run same D with different look all the time - even 9 box but only rush 3 or 4 - confusion and creativity are the key
If you confuse the QB and the OL with whatever scheme you use it will be better than this one and the last 8 yrs or so.
 
how about mike london if he gets fired by uva heres some wiki on him

In 2006, London was named by Virginia coach Al Groh as the team's new defensive coordinator to replace Al Golden. Virginia's defense under London was much more aggressive than it was under Golden.[3] Allowing just 289.5 yards per game, the Virginia defense under London gave up fewer yards than any Virginia defense had in the past 27 years. London developed first year defensive end Jeffrey Fitzgerald, who by the end of the season had more tackles than any freshman in the country.

I don't know about Mike London but I would take Jim Leavitt and will Muschamp. Too much fire in the belly to be good head coaches but have made really good D-Coordinators.

they would require i bit more money then miami would be able to offer
 
the thing with possibly hiring guys like London or Muschamp.. there's always the possibility of losing them relatively soon to other head coaching gigs.

Forget Muschamp....he isn't coming here if he gets canned at u*** as he will have a nice payout to sit on his ***.
A payout greater than what he would make as a DC here, and when he does return to coaching, it will be as a
DC under Saban (when Kirby Smart moves on) or somewhere else that pays well.

Stanford seems to run a nice multiple-front defense, perhaps someone from that staff.
One of their LB coaches (D. Kotulski) has had DC experience in the past at Bucknell and Lehigh,
so perhaps he may know Golden from his time at Temple (I think Golden hired a LB coach from
Kotulski's staff at one point).

Carlos, do you really see the benefit in scapegoating a guy who is running Golden's D? How much of that scapegoating have we seen over the past 15 years at UM, and how many times has it worked? How often has it worked anywhere? I know that the likely move is for D'Onofrio to get greased, but I have no confidence that that sort of move results in the all encompassing change needed. There's a pattern of Al flopping in important games going back to Temple.
 
We're ****ed right now but honestly this is a perfect time to get a new DC. I think the job has a higher profile right now than it has in years. We are building a monster recruiting class, top flight young guys on D already, and the program is out of the muck....sort of.

I think we would have a ton of good options.

But as Chise said, I'm not sure how much it will really matter.

1. Leavitt
2. Muschamp
3. Mike Elko
4. Schiano

Absolutely need to switch to the 4-3, one gap system. Also, it seem our corners never jam at the line, we always play 5 yards off the receiver. Why is that?

I can't dispute your points, Chise.
It is what it is, and perhaps this is my way of dealing with this clusterphk.
One can only hope that in the process of scapegoating his buddy, he brings in someone who he will allow to
run that side of the ball in his way. Scapegoat and change instead of hope and change. LOL.
But, seriously, his big-game results are alarming.

Give me a new defensive philosophy and a new DC and I think this ship can be righted. I think with a legit DC/scheme with south Florida talent can overcome goldens soft *** personality.

Golden needs to realize he's a CEO type. Hire the right guys and let them get you where you need to be. Otherwise dude will be the third straight coach Miami fires

Leavitt has a great gig working for an awesome NFL coach.
Why would he want to return to college as a DC?
It would have to be for alot of money...somewhere like fu perhaps.

Because he is a LB coach

When you consistently show a pattern of flopping in big games there is something fundamentally wrong with your overall approach. And when you get progressively worse over the course of the season that's another telling sign that you're doing something fundamentally wrong. There are deeper problems than a bad DC.
