75, his Allen-Tulsa-Pitt-Arizona State moves were due to him being on the “Todd Graham Express”, and they appear to have diverged when he moved to Utah State. Doesn’t change the moves, just the motivation. Todd Graham is well known in CFB for pretty much being a mercenary without loyalty to any of his programs. Should we be worried that someone who learned under Graham is going to exhibit the same behavior? He also coached with CT and Matt Wells, men who are well respected around the nation and high character individuals. Why not make your judgments on KP based on those two? Are you really that miserable to put the man down every chance you get?

Are you really that miserable to put the man down every chance you get? I’ve not had a chance to go further back in the stat archives. Matt Wells is a good dude. In the last three years while coaching with Matt Wells, KP’s defense has allowed 30+ points per game and he has not had a defense ever rank/finish better than 8th place out of the 10 teams in the Big 12. To add another perspective look at the game stats for the one team that both TTU & ACU played last season… A lot of the defensive stats are eerily similar.

Tech played a common opponent of Cincinnati. A lot of the defensive stats are eerily similar. However, we can bicker about anecdotal evidence all day. My response to the kitten was about the man’s character.

CT was a good coach. I just don’t know why this board thinks his recommendation is anointing oil I, for one, don’t subscribe to the “CT annointing oil” thought. What I know is: 1. We pay our president, AD and, in this instance, search firm, serious $’s to make the “right” choice; 2. As with Dorrel and Collums, time, and performance, will be the true determinant of “right”; 3. Meanwhile, support the TEAM. Go Wildcats!! Can we all agree that maybe while the performance on the field did not excel under Coach Dorrel, EVERYTHING else related to the team did. APR, Drug problems, fighting, alcohol abuse, team gpa, and anything else you can think went in an upward direction. Let’s no villainize coach Dorrel because of what didn’t happen. Let’s praise the position he left this program in to succeed on.

My response to the kitten was about the man’s character. My response was on KP’s past defensive numbers while a DC. Also, I had to look up the meaning of anecdotal…lol I’m not sure you used the word correctly/as intended or maybe you did? I’m more into Winston Churchill quotes - in 1948 WC said, 'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it”. The data I provided is not anecdotal it’s factual data coming off the NCAA website stats. Also I didn’t miss any games last season and I’m pretty darn sure I didn’t see Abilene Christian play Cincinnati. Your anecdotal reference needs to be tweaked. Based on KP’s numbers at his past few stops as a DC, if changes are not made to his process Abilene Christian will allow 30 points per game as was done in his previous stops….if ACU allows 30 points per game as he’s done at the previous stops, we will be talking about a new Coach in another four years. Meaning of anecdotal per Webster. an·ec·do·tal /ˌanəkˈdōdl/ (of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research. "while there was much anecdotal evidence there was little hard fact"

Cat… Your response is just so anecdotal. You failed to add in the highest paid coach i.e. Nick Saban lost to A&M changed his process and came back and won the SEC beating Georgia. At that time Georgia was the number one ranked team in the nation.. Just to be clear I like KP, I like the man he is, I like his message. All I’m saying is… if changes are not made to the defense football scheme run, ACU’s defense will give up 30 points per game. No team in FCS playoff gave up 30 points a game or ranked in the bottom two or three of their conference in total defense. Go check the numbers come back to me if I’m wrong. Jsyk, that’s what KP’s defense has done for the last five years. I bleed purple and white, I hope for the best for the team. I just know those kind of defensive numbers do not win Conference championships or get into the playoffs. Now if things change in the FCS and all you have to do is win six games maybe the liberty bowl will invite us to play..

I'll say this again, did Texas Tech care about defense? Not really. They wanted to put points on the board. You can only win so many games with an air raid offense. I watched the North Dakota St/E. Tenn. St game on Saturday. What do both of those schools do; run the football. Can they throw it, yep! But they want to hit you in the mouth with the run game. North Dakota State is totally fine running the ball up and down the field and not throwing if they have to. That is what I hope we become. We need to be able to do both and do both well.
It starts up front.
One thing that really bothered me about this year's team; we would run the ball once with 1 RB and he would immediately come out and a new RB would come in. Why? Why not let him get the hot hand and run it again and again and again.
For defense, you need big guys. Bogey said this a lot, we were too small. Will we be a 3-3-5 team? A 3-4-4 team? A 4-3-4 team? All of this will be interesting
