That makes zero to no sense...

Come on Shane... you serious? Who the Hawks hire as DC matters to all players, including the OL, since it will directly impact how good the team will be going forward. We've clearly been a better team when we have a good defense.

What I meant by the unclear "quote" was... Let's say the Hawks were to bring in a DC that had a scheme that worked equally as well as Michigan's did under Richrod. Their offense was good... but the defense was awful. Losing that many games (by Michigan standards) probably wan't much fun for anybody, including the OL.

I don't think that would happen no matter who the DC is. I think whoever KF brings in will be fine, even if it's Phil Parker. However, to say it won't matter to the offense who the DC is just seems silly to me.

Hawkeye Shane misrepresents your thoughts all the time. Don't take it personally ATL.

Iowa isn't hiring a bad DC, so I doubt any OL recruit is worried about Iowa going 3-9 because of the defense.

Iowa went 7-5 in the regular season this year with the worst defense since 1999 and 2000.

Ok... 3-9 was an exaggeration!
