We were in a better place, losing a ton on defense and with JL gone, how much better is it right now?

We are coming off a 10-win season and have re-established ourselves as a solid program. Not worried about the head coach getting fired after a year. The facilities are done, with more on the drawing board. Admin has proved its support. All of these things were absent two years ago and they all make the job of hiring JL's replacement easier.
Let's not forget where JL was when we hired him. He was a former member of Harbaugh's staff at San Francisco. Unemployed. With a cloud of scandal following him. We looked past that and hired him. Now both sides are in a better spot. Time to move on.
So yeah, we got lucky. I have confidence we will get lucky again.
Not sure if serious? Have you seen the Jets lately? Upgrade.
You can run a 3-4 with the DLs playing a penetrating one-gap assignment. We do that right now on passing situations when Tupou would go to the bench. Not ideal and very limiting if we can't continue to do both, though. Need someone to play a 0-technique at NT to get the most out of the system.

Al Golden was a pretty good DC back in the day, although it has been 10 years or so. He's currently the TE coach for the Lions.
Mike London followed Golden as DC and was also successful. Now he's the DL coach for Maryland.
Maybe CVille can bypass the great firewall and elaborate on what he thinks of these two

WTF?
No worries. Every time CU hired a new coach after Barnett was fired a poster ran around saying there was "smoke" coming from the inevitable Miles-to-CU story. I was just pimping an old joke.
Going back to when Leavitt was hired, my favorite candidate at the time looks just as good or better today: Rocky Seto of the Seattle Seahawks. Main claim to fame is being the mind most credited with changing the way football players tackles and defense take angles with the rugby style that avoids concussions while reducing yards after contact. (Probably a cultural good fit with MacIntyre from a faith perspective, too.)
Biography
Hired on February 4, 2010, in a quality control/ defense role, former USC linebacker Seto joined the NFL coaching ranks after 11 seasons at USC. On January 18, 2011, he was promoted to assist Kris Richard with the defensive backs, with his focus on the safeties group.
Seto’s defensive backfield was one of the NFL’s most-improved, with three of its four starters playing in the Pro Bowl, with Earl Thomas being elected as a starter. They totaled 17 of the team’s 22 interceptions, its most since the 2004 season. Led by the Pro Bowl tandem of Thomas and Kam Chancellor, the two ranked second and third for most tackles on the team, combining for 186, with six interceptions and 18 passes defensed.
Seto was USC’s defensive coordinator/secondary coach in 2009, after three seasons coaching the secondary from 2006-08, following two years of coaching the linebackers (2004-05).
During his time, safety Taylor Mays was an All-American first-teamer for three consecutive years, becoming just the fourth Trojan ever to be a three-time All-American, and he made his second consecutive All-Pac-10 first team.
In 2005, linebacker Rey Maualuga was a freshman All-American first teamer, and in 2004, linebackers Matt Grootegoed and Lofa Tatupu were named All-American first teamers.
He spent the previous two years (2001-02) as a Trojan graduate assistant, the first year working with the defense in general and then handling the safeties in 2002 (where he worked with All-American first teamer and NFL first rounder Troy Polamalu).
Seto began his coaching career in 1999 as a volunteer assistant, working with the defense and special teams. He spent the 2000 season as an administrative graduate assistant.
He was a linebacker at USC for two seasons (1997-98) after transferring to USC from Mt. San Antonio Junior College in Walnut, Calif., where he was a fullback and defensive end in 1995 and 1996. After spending 1997 as a walk-on, he earned a scholarship for the 1998 season.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in exercise science from USC in 1999 after getting his associate’s degree in general studies from Mt. San Antonio in 1997. He then earned his master’s degree in public administration from USC in 2001.
Born on March 12, 1976, Seto and his wife, Sharla, who attended Newport High in Bellevue, have two daughters, Kaylani and Mia, and two sons, Troy and Timothy.

I believe Strong took his entire staff to USF, which was made possible by the long-term contracts they were all under at UT paying most of their salaries.
Ban?
hope you can take a joke..
You too
Tziskin (on Scout) threw out Chad Brown on Scout. He must be thinking Rick George is going to try to make the hire again.....See David Gibbs.

WTF?
Stupidity taken to a new level that it is almost elegant .

What, matt russell isn't available?
I think/hope the Chad Brown mention was for LB coach, not DC. Chad doesn't have anywhere close to the experience or credentials to be considered for anything more.
