Tim DeRuyter from Fresno. I like where they are going. They ran laps around CU and kept pace with both Oregon and Boise this season winning the WAC. He's a 3-4 guy which i think you need to have to play against the Spread offense, and also himself incorporates the spread offense. Check this tidbit:
Experience/Bio: DeRuyter has a history of turning college football defenses around. Before his second arrival at Ohio in 2002, the Bobcats ranked 99th nationally; upon his departure to Nevada, the Bobcats ranked 22nd. At Nevada, the Wolfpack improved from 78th to 48th under his tutelage. As the defensive coordinator at Air Force from 2007–09, DeRuyter replaced a bend-but-don't-break scheme with an aggressive 3-4 defense. In 2006, prior to his arrival, the Falcons ranked 78th in scoring defense and 78th in total defense. In 2009, the Falcons finished 10th in scoring defense and 11th in total defense. In the 2009 Armed Forces Bowl against Houston, the Falcons limited the nation's second-ranked passing offense to a season-low of 222 passing yards. They also recorded six interceptions.[2][3] DeRuyter became Texas A&M's defensive coordinator in 2010. The Aggies ranked 104th in scoring defense in 2009, under a 4-3 defense. In 2010, under his 3-4 defense, they improved to 21st in scoring defense.
1.) Attacking big play offense.... ie, spread/spread option. We need to maximize our best home field advantage, which is the altitude. Spread or attacking offense is required here to gas out teams like USC/UCLA, others. We might not ever have the talent they have, but we have home field advantages they cant replicate in the thin air. SPEED up the game. Attack down the field. Wear the team out for 60 minutes.
2.) Big play capability on defense to give the offense more opportunities. 3-4 best suited to attack the spread and other teams. Better at bringing pressure from all angles. See Stanford, Alabama, Notre Dame, all 3-4 defenses, all playing for championships.
3.) The most important stat of all: Scoring offense and defense
Questions:
- Only one year at Fresno St. Can he recruit his own guys?
- No major conference head coaching experience
- Are we just looking at him because they killed us?
Strengths:
- Great Defensive mind
- Track record of improvement
- West coast guy
- Has Texas recruiting ties from his A&M days
