New DC: Jason Petrino

[heffray]

Suddenly he's a fan of any place west of Fargo??? After shitting on 99.9% of ND and calling Billings area no where USA. Go figure?

Billings is beautiful but you have to get off the interstate to see it. Not sure if much has changed, I haven’t been out west for about 5 years…

Can't say I'm impressed, his SIU defenses weren't that great IMO. Hope I'm wrong and he gets this defense turned around but this seems like Entz just giving one of his buddies a job again.

His defenses gave up an average of 27 points last season, 26 in 2021, almost 30 in 2020! Yikes this seems like a terrible hire to me.

I was hoping after reading this I'd look and see that he just had massive outliers (like the 64 against UIW), but no he gave up a lot of points to just about everyone.

"In Petrino's first year, SIU improved in scoring defense from 40.7 to 23.0 points per game and rushing defense from 221.3 to 154.0 yards per game. The Salukis in 2022 ranked sixth in FCS rushing defense allowing just 105.4 yards per game."

Sounds good to me. Nice resume and great experience.

Not bad against the run but 84th in passing defense, 55th in scoring defense and 30th in total defense. Sounds like a definite downgrade to me.

Or.. top 25% defense in all of FCS in a conference we say is like the SEC.

Where do I sign?

[thebigund]

Did he recruit Jeremy Chinn?

SIU Defense this past year was not good. Not sure about any other years.

No. Chinn was a Marty Rodgers recruit. He flipped from UND to SIU when Marty left.

CAS. you'll like him. a Montana Guy. I've got intel. we will invite you to the dinner.

Would anyone else like to see pics of this dining experience? I sure would. What is the phrase on here? Pics or it didn't happen...

Why cant we just get Georgia’s defensive coordinator! Seriously, some of you are hard to please. Haha! So not only was he the DC on SIU when they ended the streak, he was the DC at USD when they beat us in 2015.
