This. EXACTLY. Prior to Bertie-Bert: Zooker, Beckhead, Cubit, Lovie.
(And the interim regimes of Koenning and Rod Smith.) Man oh man, needed to take a chance and we got (at the very least) competency and a sure footing into the future. Plus, he's taking us into the NIL era with at least some plans. I'll never argue with the hire. Sure, IU caught lightning in a bottle but a lot of other schools have done a LOT worse than us.  Previous Message however I can see 4-8 staring us in the face. I just don’t see how the defense will be better. I’m not yet sold on the scheme change as the front 7….er 6, has nothing there. I see us giving up a LOT of yardage
