That’s what OU did different this year. Grinch said he wanted his athletes to be athletes and attack the ball without having to think about too much.Maybe this is one of the issues.

Internet rammar police are/is/wgaf related to suck my arse....
Not good to have a system that is very hard for players to understand. They are not pros. They don't have the hourse to set for study like the pros. And they don't have the practice time either.Maybe this is one of the issues.
Market interference. Possibly anti-trust.You're really de-valuing my decoder rings when you immediately come in and explain yourself like this.
I don’t think Glasgow has done a poor job here at all, not sure why people are so anxious for him to leave. What am I missing? Most of our issues on defense over the years when we’ve had them have been personnel related IMO, not poor coaching.

My only real complaints about defense is that it takes us a few too many games to get into a groove and we don't recruit nearly well enough on that side of the ball.

Our defense is littered with four star recruits and recruits that had several major offers at this point.
That's a sobering list. Just how many kids were on our radar that, for some reason, were passed over in favor of the ones we did sign and blossomed elsewhere?collectively the 2015-19 defensive recruiting classes rate very good, but if you look at some specific positions the ratings drop off and then when you compare the actual production and attrition it explains a great deal of what we saw at linebacker and defensive end this past season
look at the 2015-17 classes
defensive end
breylin mitchell
tipa galeai
isiah chambers
brandon bowen
matt boesen
gary overshown
dennis collins
michael epley
terrell cooper
two highest rated are chambers who transferred back to houston and bowen who can't stay health
mitchell got into trouble before he got to campus, tipa got in trouble on campus, overshown and collins never developed and transferred out.
the three most productive were boesen who was a late juco signee, epley who was summer signee and cooper who has blossomed at defensive tackle
linebacker
alec dunham
mike freeze
arico evans
tyree horton
alex bush
garret wallow
much like defensive end the highest rated recruit didn't pan out in horton, freeze left the program quickly, and i am not sure if bush ever played.
that leaves dunham as a special teams contributor and he played some as a senior, evans who was a late signee, and then wall.
Glasgow has been a good safeties coach, but I think he is in over his head with coaching LB's also now. Cross was a better LB's coach before he left to become Missouri's DC. Cross should be coaching LB's, and let Glasgow concentrate on just safeties.
