Tony White -DC syracuse

Interesting. The Cuse runs a 3-3-5 guy right now. I wonder if that is what he will plan to run here too.
Has ties to Arizona, CA and Florida. Young guy who was also a recruiting coordinator and played professionally in Canada. Has coached multiple positions. Coached under Rocky Long.
I don't hate it. He is a very good recruiter. From El Paso Texas, played at UCLA, coached at New Mexico and San Diego St for Rocky Long. Long is pretty good defensive mind. He has put quite a few dudes in the NFL. Not sure a 3-3-5 will work in the Big 10, unless one of the 5 is a bigger hybrid LB/Safety that can cover in the pass and fill in the run.
Young, energetic, good past results and promising future, just what Rhule is looking for
To have a highly ranked defense in that league is pretty good IMO. If he's a good recruiter I'm fine with it.
Pretty good hire IMO. Syracuse's defense has certainly gotten a lot better under him. They were really damn good the first half of this season, not so much the last half but the terrible Syracuse offense didn't do him any favors.
I assume he was coaching 3-3-5 because he was in the ACC, do not see how that could work with our guys and our conference, not yet anyway....but it requires the kind of players Rhule likes so maybe he'll bring it here maybe not, or install it after a season or two.
Apparently his 3-3-5 was known as "The Mob" at 'Cuse...who's ready to trade in the Blackshirts for some Mob Rhule!!!
Hopefully he brings at least one of their good DL or LBs....

I spent a little time last night watching the 2020 Sugar Bowl between Baylor and Georgia when Rhule was there.
One thing that impressed the shit outta me was the way their back 7 was flying to the ball.
They could all run, and # 3 was a hitting machine.
It was a condensed 20-minute video. Georgia won (24-16)?, but the Baylor QB and his backup must have had 3-4 passes intercepted. I think Baylor got down 17-0 or so at halftime and came back. (Spotty on my details).
I was totally impressed with their defensive team speed and how the secondary did in run support. A ton of pursuit and a ton of gang tackling.
That's what Rhule's DC ran at Carolina. Interesting stuff and the 3-3 is awesome with regards to smoke and mirrors. Will be interesting how its tweaked against DT and Regular pro sets. Will the OLB's be bigger bodied dudes than what you might see in the Big 12? Or will they dial down a stack backer as a standup DE? Will they slide to over and under fronts or use a bear front or stack front exclusively. Lots of things can be done when you have 8 moveable parts on the edge and 2nd and 3rd level. Similar to the 3-4 I guess but typically a 3-4 plays a lot of 2 high safety and the 3-3 plays single high.
Good. Fantastic recruiter and coordinator. Syracuse fans are pissed.
The University owes you money if that becomes a thing.
Coached in a lot of minor bowl games that’s for sure, considering who he was assistant and D/C for..
You can run anything if you got the athletes. I'm assuming we are gonna be "multiple" with all the different offenses in the BIG
In 2 years how many traditional Big Ten offenses will be left?
Iowa
Illinois
Michigan
Minnesota
Northwestern
Michigan State?
Rutgers?
7 out of 16? once you include UCLA and USC in a couple of years. That hybrid model may be a nod to the future of the conference.

Supposedly the coach had multiple offers to consider.
Except for Georgia and Michigan, everybody gets lit up 2-3 times a year.
What's his position on tackling in practice?
