First CAG spent one season there, now we are hiring someone with that name.... *pukes* Well good thing his name is not Todd Oviedo then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take a wait and see approach. I get coach speak, but at the same time, you don't need to go that far with the hyperbole. "One of the best" "An excellent" "Incredible" all would be more appropriate. It kind of reeks of the "warm body" approach to defense we took in the latter Taggart years: an after thought because we plan on getting into shootouts every game.

Utah State to Houston was a big step up. Houston to Texas was him following Herman. USC....I'm not sure why, maybe money, but then they had a coaching change as well in 2021, which led him to FAU in 2022. It isn't like this guy is getting fired from his gigs. EDIT: Apparently Herman fired him from Texas. And he ran the 107th ranked defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Brian Jean-Mary or Tom Allen type. Todd Orlando's numbers are around where Chris Cosh's were when we hired him: Chris Cosh: 27.9 pts, 394.6 yds Todd Orlando: 26.6 pts, 424.8 yds Look at all his years and where he has been. For you or anyone to compare him to those guys is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long was he at Texas? I assume you need some time to get your system up and running. Anyone is better than what we had and we probably weren't getting a top DC from another program.

If he can keep the points allowed in the 20’s we will win most games. Remember the name of the game is to score more than the opponent. We don’t need someone to allow 15 points when we are scoring 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
