So people are throwing out names for potential DC candidates. This is a continuation of the analysis that I did for Coach Mark D. and Todd Orlando. Below I have the analysis for future coordinators, I’m not going to do a write up this time but I will offer some factual figures, this way we can have a discussion with hard data to back our claims. I want you to make your own judgement from the data that I present.
Refrain from discussing why you think the data is biased. The data is definitely useful as proven by the analysis done on Mark D and the results he produced this year.
David Gibbs looks like he was consistently … mediocre … to eghhh!!! … that was a P5 … in G5 he was supposedly better considering the talent he was facing … guess the secret is to NOT bring him along if your school gets promoted to a P5 conf.
Phil Bennett looks like he was getting long in tooth and just tired coaching the defense …
I’ll keep adding to this list, one caveat is that they have to have had former experience as a DC. So anyone going from a position coach to DC will not have this history available.
Koenning seems to get improvement from the same level of guys year after year. Tells me he may not know that recruiting area and is a great teacher/motivator…or…they just can’t get quality kids and he does a great job of developing, and holding his units together.
Would also need to get an average offensive rank of teams they played each season to get a better idea. Baylor and Tech defensive coordinators may have worse defenses statistically but they also play against some of the most explosive offenses in the country.
