Which is it? I think both coordinators need to go, plus several position coaches, especially the interns turned paid assistants.

Does Lanning have that in him? That I don’t know.

The problem is the coaching. That is what determines attitude. OC and DC are both over their skis. The others are just incompetent and that is on Dan.

All of this has been said…on the field we are done. Northwestern is going to boat race us, then Columbus, we just lost to a freshman QB what’s one more, and we ain’t scoring on Michigan.

This looks like 4-8 or 5-7. Then the pressure really builds on Dan, transfers hit us and recruiting really takes a hit.

This is a mess. Lanning needs a couple of coordinators…Mike Norvell, Justin Wilcox. Lupoi may be available, he is sucking wind at Cal. He is a lousy HC, I knew he would be.

A lot here and it ain’t pretty.

The defense is working about as good as the MINT scheme will let it. Hampton has a (short) prior record of success as a DC.

What specifically are you seeing at this point that would warrant him being replaced with someone else? I get that the first 2 games they were trying to find their own motivation, but since then they've played pretty good..

The Illini changed up their play calling in the second half to attack the edges and use their bruiser RB up the middle. As a team that offense isn't exciting but they are incredibly consistent and don't shoot themselves in the foot. Their QB was good enough to help his team score.

I specifically saw Lanning with the defensive play call sheet in his hand before the 75 yard score. So that one is on him, and maybe you could argue that if Hampton was good enough DL wouldn't have to be helping him, but he was always helping Tosh too, so by that measure you wouldn't want Tosh back.

Dan needs to change his scheme on defense, but the coaching staff at every level is good enough to give us a championship caliber defense.

The offense is obviously a disaster. The only coaches to retain there are the RB and WR coaches.

We also need to replace whoever backfilled that personnel manager Stein took with him, because we whiffed in the entire portal roster while Kentucky knocked it out of the park like we used to do.
