Why can't we get a decent Defensive Coordinator??

^ by young offense most people mean young QB. Unless all you do is run the ball, the QB's youth could show through on any given play.

The coaching system is flawed, at least at the level USF is at, because its become a system of not who's the best candidate but who knows who. Cosh being the best example of someone being hired because they either worked with Holtz or someone Holtz knew recommended them. It seems like instead of merit, its a buddy system ensuring that when you get fired, your friend will employ you with the understanding if the situation is reversed they can expect the same from them.

you have to ask yourself doesnt the head coach have friends that are good coaches

Our defense is young and and constantly out of position.  Their inability to close out on receivers in zone coverage is sooo frustrating.  They will have one man running in their zone yet still remain 4-5 yards away from the player instead of closing on the player to take away the easy completion.  We constantly get killed on third down by this.  We are also tackling very poorly so far this season.  The good news is most of the mistakes are mistakes that come with a young defense.  We are playing a ton of freshmen and sophomores across the defense and at times they flash great ability but they aren't even close to consistent yet.  I think next year and the year after we get back to playing the USF defense we were accustom to in the past.

^ sounds believable, geesh I hope you're right Dozer

We are not getting any pressure on the quarterback and our DBs are not covering well...I dont see the DC as the problem 

Could it be the coaching and defensive scheme ?

[Bulls2k]

What about Pasqualoni? He got fired from UConn and is now the Bears D Line coach. He wasn't hire until Jan., maybe should have gotten him for some role with the defense.

Did you happen to watch the Bears vs Pat's game....I did....enough said.

Then you missed the defensive issue was the back 7, which he doesn't coach. This rather detailed write up on the game points out the issues, none were a unit he coached in the game.

While there have been signs all season about the lack of depth and talent in the back seven of the Bears defense, the Patriots left no doubts. For the majority of the game, the Bears played with three undrafted free agents — linebacker Christian Jones and cornerbacks Demontre Hurst and Al Louis-Jean.

In short, the Bears had no chance against Brady.

 

Injuries have played a role, particularly at linebacker, but no one goes injury-free in the NFL, and thus Emery has to wear a large portion of the Bears’ defensive issues. This team is at least two players short in the secondary — a cornerback and a free safety — and the constant cycle at linebacker has left no continuity at the second level.

 

Brady was a puppeteer, deftly pulling the strings of the Bears’ young linebackers on play-action plays, creating huge voids in between the underneath and deep passing zones. Eye discipline has been an issue all year for Bears’ linebackers, who aren’t reading their keys — the sets of offensive lineman — and lose their assignment in the process.

He is also working with the worst LB corp. that I have seen at USF in quite some time.
