How long has the Utah staff been in place? Context matters. Feel free to continue to die on that hill.

Some context to that year-on-year improvement is that, so far this year, aOSU has played a pretty offensively inept half of their schedule. A Wisconsin team that lost to Cuog and a Notre Dame team that should have lost to Cal are their toughest challenges so far. We'll see what happens against Michigan and Pedo. Really, the B1G is WAY worse than the PAC this year below the top two teams.
They played Oregon last year who worked them over but the rest of the dreck is the same
Michigan scored big too
But a solid point

Fuck off, a good staff could put together a halfway competent secondary with a dozen white walk ons. But we're not even close to halfway competent, and we still have a lot more fucking talent than a dozen white walk ons.
This is a hack job by Inge, Morrell, Juice, and whichever other dipshits have input on this defense. Clean fucking house and sign better players.
I hear what you're saying but I was joking
Is Brent Venables a shitty defensive coach? Oklahoma has arguably a worse defense than UW. Is it Venables? His players? They are probably not all 0* white walk-ons. Maybe his scheme is harder to figure out than Grinch's was? Who knows? Was Dave Aranda a shitty defensive coach? He took over a defense in 2020 that gave up 19.8ppg. His first defense gave up 29.2. This shit happens in year one. If UW's offense was always Petersens whether Smith or Bush was calling the plays (which I agree with) then Oklahomas or Baylors defenses are/were all Venables/Arandas. I give these defensive coaches until the first game of next year to figure this shit out. Not fixed? Then I'm out, not until then.
Venables is a coordinator pretending to be a head coach
Also, his name is Brent.
It has only been six games. I’m with you in that it is possible the coaching is fine. They could also get better. However, they look so bad right now that if there is not improvement, bring in a stud DC and let him take over that side of the ball.
It is too early to completely write off some of the players. They don’t look good but Elijah Jackson and Banks are freshman and are playing because of injuries and shitty depth.
Budda was terrible his first 2-3 games. Sidney Jones had some rough games as a freshman. King sucked for years. What we do need to see is improvement and we will have a better idea if the coaching is competent.
If it’s a talent issue, we need to hit the portal hard and bring in a bunch of guys to creat competition and get better.
Now do Aranda.
