On February 27, 2019, Avalos was hired to serve as Oregon’s defensive coordinator, replacing Jim Leavitt.[13] Under Avalos, Oregon’s team defense went from 49th in 2018 to ninth in 2019.[14][15] Also in 2019, the #2 recruit in the country according to 247Sports.com, Kayvon Thibodeaux, committed to Oregon.[16] He had nine sacks and one forced fumble in his first season as a Duck.[17]

Let’s all be honest, no matter what decision TCU made or didn’t make, you were going to have a negative reaction to it.

TCU could have hired Nick Saban as the DC and you would be unhappy.
I bet you were pumped for the Gillespie hire…we’ll see how this pans out,

TCU went cheap on this hire, you can’t debate that because Boise is paying most of his salary here

3-3-5 we are screwed
From article I posted:

"At a high level, the structure and philosophy of the Boise defense hasn’t changed much since Petersen and Pete Kwiatkowski were at Boise. Avalos, despite his various stints working for other defensive coordinators, has built his scheme and philosophy on the same Kwiatkowski defense that UW ran when he was at UW. At it’s core, the Boise defense is a nickel-personnel defense that blends 3-4 and 4-3 structures to present a multiple defensive look. Much like Coach K’s 2-4-5 defense, and like current 4-2-5 defense under Coach Inge & Coach Morrell to a certain extent, hybridized roles and multiplicity in pre-snap alignments are how Boise tries to punch above their weight on defense.

Boise utilizes a similar EDGE role that is a blend of DE and OLB, and historically they dropped into coverage or played off-ball LB enough where the offense could never be certain about what they were doing. When paired with Boise’s preference to go with single-high coverage structures, there were often five players in the box who were legitimate rushing and coverage threats on any given play (2 LBs, 2 EDGEs, 1 Safety), rather than just two or three in a more conventional 4-2-5 defense."

Also emphasis on QB pressures and forcing turnovers....

I am beginning to think Florida Frog is just a bot that has been programmed to post negative things on every thread.

The bot’s programming is a little off at the moment as the Avalos hire just was announced, so there hasn’t been time yet for a system update with negative things to say about Avalos rather than JG.

Don’t be surprised if you see posts along the line of “Avalos’s defenses were bad at Tulsa” or “Sonny is only hiring Avalos because of the Stephenville connection.”

Florida "Frog" became a fan on the board only after the Michigan game last year. Only to become an expert at who the new DC coach should be. One might call that a bit strange.

We put QBs under a lot of pressure this year, if you consider that making choices is difficult. We gave opposing QBs a lot of options and all the time in the world to make a decision. That kind of a high anxiety situation can put young people under a great deal of stress.

Roster is a mess? because of players in the portal? So far good recruiting class, transfer class, and letting guys go that have not developed like they thought or not good for program. This is still a good roster.
We have less than 75 scholarship players…maybe 6 scholarship OL + 2 transfer guys coming in

That is thin…
