Underrated post. Bedford makes $800K btw. Really enjoyed that 700 yds in offense Tech put on us. If that doesn't improve drastically, he and Strong are both hitting the bricks next season. Aren't these guys supposed to be defensive gurus? Isn't that their supposed strength?Bedford should be gone also...

2012 = ranked 68; allowed 403.4 ypg

I have said...and maybe you and a few others have also said this, it feels like muschamps tenure at florida. Even a little bit like stoops at Arizona, If so, next year wont be much better.Underrated post. Bedford makes $800K btw. Really enjoyed that 700 yds in offense Tech put on us.

VB probably doesn't belong, but Strong is supposed to be a defensive mastermind. Does he take a hands off approach to both defense and offense?

That Strong/Bedford D kicked your ass! No go back to your trailer and brush that one tooth you have.0Bedford is as overrated as they come. Somewhere blh is still defending that Strong/Bedford D and calling everyone else trash. Chuckulz.
Strong is a mentor to Bedford and Jean Marie. To me, they are joined at the hips. To fire them after all of the years as friends and teaching he has invested in them would be similar to selling his soul. It won't happen. If Bedford and Jean Marie can't improve the defense would mean that he can't either because they do and teach as he does and teaches.
Defense was pretty good when Jefferson and Jinkens were playing.
Well....they did make Edmonds and Thomas reach potential. Even big Malcomb was better with them calling the defense. They have been pretty damned good at targeting and landing prospects that can actually play. I agree that this year sucked....but I refuse to believe that the same staff that completely turned our D around last year suddenly forgot how to coach. I am not giving them a pass, but this damned running around yelling the sky is falling are getting just a little out of hand.
Good pointsI wouldn't credit them with completely turning the defense around last year. When Diaz was fired and Robinson replaced him he laid the groundwork for the 2014 defense. Not that this staff didn't also do a great job last year, I just don't think the deserve the credit you are giving them.
I agree with others. Bedford needs to be shown the door too. The guy is majorly overrated.
Is Bedford agreeing it's one of the worst of all time?Wow.......just wow...

sounds like he is denying it to me but it is hard to dispute facts.Is Bedford agreeing it's one of the worst of all time?
Trust me Horn fans I can feel your pain after the last couple of years us Sooners have had with our own crappy defense. It was nice to have an improved D this year.
