This was long overdue. For two years we have struggled against the run. Last year we struggled against the pass as well.

Lyle Hemphill was brought in from JMU and the secondary immediately showed improvement. We can only hope that Lyle can help solve our run defense woes as well.

Yeah, Bateman has been testing the waters for a year. From the moment Elko publicly questioned the defense after the bowl game, to the hiring of Hemphill, to Bateman losing playcalling duties, Jay has become a "tell me, what would you say you do here" guy. He is apparently a solid LB coach () but I don't expect any appreciable loss.

Our LB play is underwhelming at times

Yea, say something negative about the timing of the post as if it means nothing since it didn't fit your first to market timeline.

Maybe next time adding something constructive instead of being a negative Nancy, especially to one of your brothers.

We've known this for a couple of days but when Kentucky comes to Kyle Field next year we may not even have to pass the ball. Because we'll just run it down their throats.

The problem is, when you are an elite program like A&M is going to be, sometimes you really need Batman to lead the defense.

Who is going to be our State Farm?



I wish Jay the best, and lots of luck at Kentucky. No ill will, just time for an upgrade. Thanks for your help.

Our secondary showed improvement? When? Our secondary is downright horrible.

The point is that it's been discussed a ton days ago and you're just making a post like it just happened.

Our secondary showed improvement from...last year, when we were 90th in passing yards allowed per game with 220 yd/gm. This year we are 21st with 183 yd/gm. Most folks would call that pretty great improvement, especially when teams are typically playing from behind on us.

Do you think that is a product of Bateman?

ag94ag was implying that Hemphill was part of the reason for the improvement against the pass. I'm not sure if that's it or any other factors but given that Bateman seems to have had less of a role in the defense this year I would say it specifically is not a product of him.

Yet, 9 of our 12 opponents were under their passing yards per game average when facing us (Notre Dame, Florida, South Carolina being the exceptions). I'd say we were at least an average to above average pass defense which is a massive improvement.

It hasn't always been good but a BIG improvement from last year.

Bateman shouldn't have been here to begin with. Hiring this guy never made sense.

We need an upgrade in both DC and OC positions. And I do wish CK all the luck in the world as head coach at Kansas state. And Jay B as well at UK. Life would be much easier on Elko.

With the speed we announced Hemphill succeeding, I'm really thinking the OC hire is external.

Yeah, when Bateman was hired his career as a DC wasn't very good. Florida wasn't sad at all about him leaving. The silver lining was that he is a good recruiter and having Elko overeating the defense would solve any deficiencies Bateman has.

Well that lasted all of one season and then Bateman had his play calling duties taken away.

I think the JMU dude is setup for a lot of success.

Downright horrible post. Our secondary is great in coverage. We are mediocre in run defense but have been great in pass defense.

Far better than average. We easily grade out top 10 in pass efficiency defense. Maybe top 5, but definitely top 10
