Not necessarily. It frees up a lot of zone coverages with the ability to disguise pressure. It allows the defense to get pressure with 4 (or even 3) because you never know where the pressure is coming from or who’s dropping into coverage.

As long as the pressure isn't coming from 20 yards deep and the person dropping into coverage on their slot WR isn't our best pass rusher.

Haha, pour one out for Arnett today. Dude thought he had positioned himself as the subject of a bidding war between Texas, Notre Dame, LSU, and Oregon. Carousel spins around and he ends up without an offer from any of them. First team meeting back at MSU may be a bit awkward after publicly taking all those interviews.

Expand  

He needs to make a video of what not to do on an interview.

I think I like this Kwiatkowski hire more than I would have Muschamp anyways 

Expand  

I probably agree. He should be hungrier and more focused than Muschamp. I don't doubt Boom is still a great DC but he's coming off of some flameouts and hasn't been a DC under someone else in awhile.

Especially as long as you don’t run that same blitz multiple times a game.

Someone like Overshown will thrive in that D right?  He’s gonna be able to cover like a safety and be free to run around in blitz situations.  Watching that video, I’d imagine he’d be a ILB.  Gotta think he looks at Owens as a spin down guy too. Overshown, Mitchell, Ford and Gbenda is a solid group for those 2 inside spots. Dorbah and Thornton will fit that OLB role.  Gotta think Sanders looks good there as well. 
 

I’m also going to be curious on where/how guys like Collins/Broughton are gonna play. Coburn, Sweat, Ojomo are gonna be inside guys obviously.  Sad that Ossai isn’t coming back. He’d be a monster in this set up I think. 
 

Anyone with more knowledge, educate me. Just watching that video and seeing what kind of guys are in those spots, that’s what I’m envisioning.

Interesting that those themes haven't shown up anywhere else from uw fans. Not doubting your buddy, that just hasn't been a common complaint that I've seen so far.

That said, I bet if you ask any fanbase what frustrates them most about their dc, you probably get some flavor of this answer. No matter how good you are at those areas, the fans probably always want them to be better. It's the defensive equivalent of wanting the offense to run the touchdown play.

About the only comment I could find on it:  Sark wants Kwat - pg. 2

For OLBs or OLB/DE hybrid types in the portal or thinking about it, they should really give Kwiatkowski strong consideration for improving potential draft standing.

Given that we just got one of those, this might have been thought out ahead of time.

My only concern with this Kwat guy is his success as a DC will have to be pointed out to recruits and their families. I mean theres a reason his name wasnt mentioned until fairly recently, West coast CFB has fallen off the map in recent years.

Otherwise, solid if not out of the park homerun hire.

Coach K talks about how his formula in putting so many guys into the NFL is by teaching fundamentals. It seems he believes in fundamentals over scheme. So spitballing here I assume that by building a solid base he is able to apply complicated schemes that brings pressure from many places with success due to developing disciplined well taught players. Unlike Orlando where his guys could not tackle or figure out were they should be.

This is exactly what Sark said they were going to emphasize.

Yeah this will be a very long offseason, especially if Longhorn baseball sucks -- #FireDavidPierce!

Yeah I wouldn't be worried about 2-4-5 vs. 3-3-5 vs. 4-2-5. I think the dude will come up with the best base formation based on the available talent on campus while working on fundamental 1st and foremost. Texas really doesn't have the depth to play a 2-4-5 right now. Really the only hybrid DE/LBs are Bimage, Leitao, Bush, Dorbah, and Harris. You aren't basing out of the 2-4-5 when those dude are your pass rushers and you have Coburn, Sweat, Collins, Ojomo, and Broughton at DL.

Hum, not sure if serious...

He has his own list of NFL guys to point to. And it’s not like he is hitting the recruiting trail all by himself either. Win win in my book.

So we now have a DC and are down to looking at ILB coaches or what?

I have been conditioned through both the Urban Meyer and this thread to constantly be scouring the interwebs for hints and clues and now I feel an emptiness inside.

I am fucking stoked and amazed at the quality of staff Sark has put together, but what are we supposed to do now? How can we shitpost if we dont have an ongoing reason to be actively roving the message boards, twitter feeds, and the like?

 

Alas, I am at a loss and must find peace...

All they have to mention is how many guys he puts in the NFL compared to our prior regimes.

Off topic I know, but why on earth are you concerned about baseball? Starting in the Top 10 after what was looking like a great season last year before it got cut short.

Can we call him "Coach Kow"?

j/k though I would be stoked if that gets picked up.

I read that Kwiatkowski has never really had any head coarching aspirations, which bodes well for longevity here if he works out well, which I'm sure he will.

Not sure about NFL though.

There will be plenty of time to point it out with all the time saved not having to apologize to the recruits and their families for Herman.
