Defense will not be a priority.

It will get them as exactly as far as it has gotten them up until now.

The team lead the conference in scoring but finished 2-6 in it. Sounds like my fantasy team that lead our league in scoring and was below .500 on the year. If this stat does not prove that a high scoring offense is nothing unless you have a defense that can stop the other team you will lose.

Little surprised. Hill is a very bright, upcoming offensive coach. Head coach? I don't think he's ready for that.
