Already covered very well in this thread. For example:

 

Damn you. I Decided to skim this since have the time today, and it pissed me off as much as I thought it would. He used a bunch of words to say very little about the defense and then concluded that a base defense with Adimora and BJ Foster at safety with BJ Foster playing center field in a Cover 1 look would be good. How can he be that dumb?

I don't know anything about this Krzyzewski guy from Washington State, but I'm already upset about our lack of halftime adjustments for the Arkansas game. 

Patience, grasshopper. I already have a title for that game thread, too: "Death Row vs. Jethro."

Hopefully question 1 in the interview was:
How would you stop Riley?
Actually he should say, "This is what I did vs tOSU in the CFP. What would have done to stop it?" Then evaluate his answer vs what you know about your players and scheme. ou shouldn't be more difficult.

i dont know but he also had the BS on the wide side of the field instead of the boundary side so there's that.

CJ Vogel on Coach PK

  Hide contents

First off, hell of a job by Super K to keep this under wraps until the proper time he could go live with it. I know it’s tough being an insider subscriber and being withheld from news like this even when it’s known to the mods. To give a sense of how tight Super K held onto this, I had no idea who the unnamed candidate was until Charlie or K tweeted from our main @TFB_Texas account Monday night with the news. So once again, great job by those two guys.

I spoke with two sources close to the Washington football program to get their initial reaction to the news of Pete Kwiatkowski’s taking the Texas defensive coordinator job.

The first time either had heard about Kwiatkowski accepting the Texas job came from my question to them, so their reactions were as genuine as they come.

*** The first guy responded with a list of expletives so long that I myself almost went to clean my mouth out with soap. Here’s more of what he had to say.

“He’s one of the best X’s and O’s defensive coordinators in the country. He’s not a great recruiter, but is insane as a play caller.”

My source, who referred to Kwiatkowski as ‘Coach K’, said that Coach K is one of the most selfless guys in the profession. He also continued to emphasized how smart of a play caller he was, often calling him a “genius” or “guru” or “magician” when describing him to me.

He added that Coach K is very even keel off the field and overall is a very likable guy.

This source hinted at Coach K’s specialty coming in game planning and in-game adjustments. He will be able to develop his guys into the on-field product he wants.

“He’s not a head coach kind of guy, so he’s fine being a DC. He doesn’t recruit all that great, although it seemed he was getting better. But again, he is so good he doesn’t really have to. He won’t have to recruit much at Texas. It’s ****** Texas.”

 

*** My other source was more recently inside the football building at Washington and reiterated a lot of what the first guy had to say in regards to play calling and being a defensive coordinator in general.

This source had more to say on what to expect in the recruiting side of things. He said Coach K likely won’t be in contention for recruiter of the year like some of these other heavyweight DC’s known by all fans across the country.

He added that his success as a recruiter will depend mostly on the assistants around him on the defensive side of the ball. Something Texas surely loaded up on this offseason as we know.

My source closed it out with this – “But man, he can use that damn Longhorn logo and get anyone.”  Of course hinting at the on-field play combined with what Texas itself brings to the table as a program/name.

So what can we expect from here?

Both of my sources hinted at Kwiatkowski needing some help on the recruiting side of things.

Well, Texas just added Bo Davis to coach the defensive line who has recruited eight 247Sports composite top 100 recruits to his schools from 2014-16 alone. Not to mention he was responsible for recruiting Quinnen Williams, the eventual No. 3 overall pick by the New York Jets in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Not to mention Terry Joseph has hauled in 12 four-stars in his career plus a five star, though it was on the opposite side of the ball in Speedy Noil.

Special Teams coordinator Jeff Banks has doubled as a defensive recruiter when needed in the past too. He has pulled in defensive players like Kendrick Blackshire, Max Wright and Marcus Banks in the past, all from Texas might I add.

 

*** Schematically speaking, it is tough to find a defensive coordinator with as precise gameplanning and execution as there is in Coach K.


In the seven years Kwiatkowski spent with the Huskies, there were four seasons where his opponents did not score 35 points or more. That’s nuts!

In 2017, Penn State scored exactly 35 points in a 35-28 victory in the Fiesta Bowl.

In 2019, No. 12 Oregon scored exactly 35 points in a 35-31 victory in Eugene.

Teams don’t score a lot vs. Kwiatkowski.

The last time a team scored 40 points against a Kwiatkowski defense was November 8, 2014.

 

*** Oh and he develops and gets guys drafted and drafted early.


Texas actually has one guy in this category. Malcom Brown was drafted in the 1st round in 2014 by the Patriots.

A lot of credit belongs to Jimmy Lake here as well, but here are some of the defensive studs that have been produced from Washington during the Coach K era there.

But regardless, Budda Baker and Marcus Peters have both been named to All Pro teams in the NFL. Baker was actually made the highest paid safety in the NFL this past offseason.
Shaq Thompson was an impactful rookie during the Panthers run to the Super Bowl in 2015, and has racked up 100+ tackles in each of the past two seasons for Carolina.
Vita Vea had been starting at nose for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers until an injury shortened his season in 2020.
Taylor Rapp is personally one of my favorite safeties in the league.
Danny Shelton won a Super Bowl ring with the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII.
Kevin King recorded five INT’s in 2019 and started 11 games in the regular season for the Packers who are now one win away from going to the Super Bowl.
 

Two more pieces of good information about Kwiatkowski’s defenses:

– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O73VXlt8G8Q&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=EliteAthletesTV

— https://www.uwdawgpound.com/2018/4/9/16859732/coach-bs-breakdown-the-husky-nickel-defense-front-6

TL;DR – Kwiatkowski is phenomenal in game-planning and making schematic adjustments. He will need help in recruiting from his position coaches, but he develops his guys and gets them drafted high very often.

This hire is phenomenal.

 

“This source hinted at Coach K’s specialty coming in game planning and in-game adjustments. He will be able to develop his guys into the on-field product he wants”


As a Texas fan, I have no idea what these words mean.

It’s a fucking pain to read his post. Scipio Tex on the other hand actually is enjoyable to read imo.

It's a bit ironic that this would actually be a great fit for Caden Sterns (if he could learn to take a proper angle). I've been watching the 2018 apple cup and he would fit in well with the decently athletic and instinctive guy that gets to play over the top mold that UW has made its money on for the last several years

Our secondary is going to be full of weird fits but the talent is there

Not since Muschamp. He always seemed to know what to call and how to adjust, especially to eliminate explosive plays. How awesome will it be to see a good Texas defense again.

I love the handwringing regarding Gideon.  The guy can't coach CB's because he wasn't one?  It's ludicrous.  He's been widely lampooned as a "corch on the field" by this group.  The biggest positive that has been widely ascribed to him is getting everyone lined up on the defense correctly, but he can't coach CB's?  I have to laugh because I think @Steel Shank just won again?

with the Kwiat announcement I'm feeling pretty optimistic that we can be in Big 12 champ game next year with this staff assuming we can get a full normal spring in.

Ark and UL are going to be tests due to new scheme and normal trial by fire that situation entails.  we should win 9 games at minimum unless QB is a disaster.  probably a max of 11 wins including Bowl Game if AGNB is fully realized.

Agreed.  It seems like if you look at any OC/DC or HC resume they have coached multiple "positions" at stops a long the way.  I think people get way too focused on prior position coach experience

Sure, but it's not like it was an SEC SEC SEC roster that got to play a P12 schedule. 

What are his ranks adjusted for strength of opposing offenses? Paging @Huckleberry

I posted his DFEI and SP plus numbers last night. He’s been top 25-30 in like 8 of the last ten years with 3 or 4 years being in the top 10.

He also can’t coach CBs because Sark said he’s the safeties coach and Joseph will coach CBs, but you should DM Sark this post. Maybe he’ll change his mind.

If he wants to stay on as an analyst, I got no problem with that.... If it’s for any other capacity, sleepy got to go...

Giles is already under contract for next season -- might as well be an analyst and get a little more quality time from him at pool parties...
