New DC Grant Olson, Nick Goeser Co-DC

[Kujava23]

Wow hope he's a better DC then LBer and ST coach......

Yeah agree...not excited about it

Is there a reason hes bounced around and not moved up before?

Olson will call plays, Goeser will work on schemes.

Seems like the best usage for both, given Grant's "general" status when he was running the D as a player.

Just thinking out loud, maybe our problems at LB are more personnel than coaching.

Who recruited the personnel? Wasn't he linebackers coach for 5 years...pretty sure he would have had say in who they recruited for the postion.

So Goeser is the "big picture guy" and Olson is the "play-to-play guy"....

It's a totally different skill set. Special teams is more scheme and the players have to execute. Calling a defense is like calling plays

That's kinda what I was trying to get at

Wondering if this move had something to do with Petrino's position/philosophy on DT technique and resultantly exposing our LBs to major roles is taking on blockers when they aren't built for that right now. Granted our Dline is smaller, and we got gashed even last year up the middle, but there are still techniques that can be used to keep LBs clean. We started to change DT technique late this season by stemming to it, and it seemed to help, but stemming to it like we did isn’t the best way to do it IMO.

Regardless, we need 10 extra pounds on all front seven without losing speed at the OLB position. We also need to coach up tackle/pursuit angles at all positions unfortunately (that really should be innate ability/instinct). And one of the OLBs coming back shouldn’t be on the field … regardless.

Way more to STs really, especially KO and punt coverage.

Logan Kopp had a very good season. He was first team MVFC. Kubitz also had a good season. Oscar Benson is probably the other outside linebacker.

When Grant Olson played the coaches always raved about his football IQ.

I'm assuming Goeser is helping Grant with the game plan. When Klieman and Hazelton were coaching together they always talked about the collaboration between the coaches to come up with the game plan.

I really like this hire. Go Bison! ��

I am skeptical of this hire. Go Bison.
