Well, Hux/Doeren actually run the 4-2-5 with the hybrid nickel/lb. Doeren stated at the ACC media conference that the plan will not change. Stop the run first, even if that means leaving our dbs on an island. I guess the idea is that the 4-2-5 gives a little more flexibility in covering spread/rpo offenses.
Im all for stopping the run, and we are generally quite good at it, but the secondary personnel has not fit that scheme well, to date. Hoping that Stephen Griffin really makes a difference back there this fall.

Yep, Paki. That certainly could be the way it went down.

Re: Will Wade… It was a good move staying away. Apparently he was not well liked by players or administrators at VCU. On the sidelines, his handling of late-game situations was questionable at best.
Will KK prove to be a better choice? Hope so.

…Or, he was recruited by Gottfried, who told him he wouldn’t have to put any effort into playing defense. My understanding is that he met with Keatts yesterday, then asked for the release. Curiously, Allen stated afterward that he would still consider State if KK ‘re-offered’. Hmmm…Seems to me, the decision was not made by Allen.
