You're right Ronnie…even a move to go work with Monte Kiffen for a year or two is worth it. Hell, I could probably become a defensive genius with that guy teaching me!

I think you are right - there are a number of coaches that learned the craft from Monte, doing the Tampa 2.

As I understand it, he is heck of a decent guy too.

Unlike his miserable son.

What I cannot understand is why he would even want to go back to being a DB coach instead of being our DC.

Because it's USC and probably a lot more money. Can't blame him but it sucks.

Sun Sentinel said Coach Pelini might have the DC position locked up by week's end.  No possible candidates were mentioned though.

And thats all we can focus on right now. Let us not worry about who is gone, but who is coming and thier credentials.

Marvin was a good hire because he had DC experience at the FBS level. Its hard to replace that right now.

Replace what?  His resume?  That's basically all he was for us…he certainly didn't do anything of importance here in his 2 months.  As long as whoever the next DC is steps onto the practice field, he'll have more than filled the void left by Sanders…

Hard to replace his experience as a DC at the FBS level. He was the DC at UNC for a few years. Most of the guys we have are FCS folks who are moving up and have great potential. I have no issue with that. To me what made Marvin such a solid hire was his experience at FBS.

There are not a lot of those guys floating around right now after all the hiring. I trust Coach Pelini will get a good replacement.
