Aaron Henry to Notre Dame.

I still think Henry was the better Coordinator of the 2. I think the defense

Couldn't get off the field against Wisconsin, an absolute doormat of an offense
Posted by OrangeSox
|
I hope I am completely wrong. I hope Lunney is the stud he is made out to be and that Henry was
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Lunney is fine. Nothing special. (longish post about the state of college offense)
Posted by illiniranger
|
upshot of this is depth doesn't matter as much at this pace of play
Posted by illiniranger
|
they're both OK. Henry made some questionable alignment decisions

3rd down and 15 for Washington. rush 3*

Disaster game from him. Absolutely *

|
This is literally insane*

Xavier Scott was healthy against Duke and we couldn’t stop a nosebleed in that game*
Posted by OB25
|
We forced 5 turnovers. Duke endee up winning the ACC and won 8 games

|
Punching the ball out is a skill/mindset that can be taught and they deserve credit for that.

Bart Miller is the guy that should be catching heat from the fans*
Posted by illini21
|
According to statsofwar, our offensive line produced above average push

|
RB talent a little lacking. personally i am not a fan of how teams rotate RBs now
Posted by illiniranger
|
yes. problem with replacing him

Where have you gone, Harry Hiestand? Illini Nation turns it's lonely eyes to you... *
Posted by osklister
|
As I said below we faced some really good offenses

C'mon*

So much of this is Jimmies/Joes IMO.*

It’s always a little more this

I don't think Aaron Henry was a great coordinator. I thought he was slightly better
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
top 20 by definition is much better than slightly better than replacement level*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
For P4 teams*
Posted by JacobRDaugherty
|
Slightly better than replacement level for P4 teams would be like 60th
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
correct, this. the argument is nonsensical*

That is nuts*

henry was a good guy and a good DB coach

national reporter says he'd been fielding NFL interest, including interviewing with the Jags
Posted by assassin
|
Seems noteworthy to point out who the owner of the Jags is
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Yeah, I'm operating under the opinion BB did AH a solid... didn't want to fire him*

The one who got insulted by his honorary degree not getting awarded*

Yeah I think it’s pretty obvious what is going on here. Best outcome for both parties.*
Posted by OB25
|
Old joke woulda been that he's working with pro football players either at Dome or in the NFL.
Posted by osklister
|
Great spot for him. Can focus on the Secondary and recruiting
Posted by illini21
|
home run hire incoming*

Justin Wilcox would be #1 on my list*
Posted by illini21

Giving Ryan Walters a call?*
Posted by UofIL6
|
Seems like that bridge was burned*
Posted by ilinni11
|
Can said hire bring DLs and LBs with him *
Posted by biclops

Portal is closed. Not sure how that would happen.*

Hire a lower level HC as DC. Allows his players to transfer.
Posted by Illiniphil
|
I'm assuming this is a done deal and yes. Would make all the pieces make sense.*
Posted by Phytynlini
|
This was Bret finding a soft landing spot for AH. He didn’t want to fire him.*
Posted by MrX
|
Seems very BB like*
Posted by uofi1998
|
Leonhard just got hired by the Bills. Sigh. *
Posted by LovetheChief
|
I don’t think he was ever going back to the college level, except as a P4 HC*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
Agreed. This is a demotion.
Posted by AintHatin
|
won't be calling the plays, so he'll probably do well*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
Ohio St and Notre Dame stealing our coaches
Posted by jdl
|
Well, gawd bless. Dome probably coulda hired dam near anyone.
Posted by osklister
|
That’s a shocker*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Lol*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Y’all got your wish… we’ll see how it goes.
Posted by uofi1998
|
We were #57 in points allowed on defense this year. That does not scream “poached by Notre Dame”
Posted by meanjeans
|
It's being pitched to them that they stole Henry from us.*
Posted by uofi1998
|
quite the opposite. They are ecstatic*
Posted by illini21
|
Helping him find a spot to Notre Dame would be pretty wild
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Chris Ash is the DC there, has ties to both Bielema and Henry *
Posted by larue33
|
Yeah that makes sense. Just crazy if OSU and ND are taking the coaches we’re moving on from*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
he is well-respected as a DB coach*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
I know. He’s also a good recruiter
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider But i forgot Ash was their DC and it makes sense. They also have Andy Buh on staff. I still think it’s a bit nuts that OSU and ND are taking our castoffs
|
I think you can just read it as ND hiring him as DB coach, in which case it makes much more sense *
Posted by meanjeans
|
AH maybe realizes with no DL it can only get worse here
Posted by bjl63

Plausible *
