Aztecs lost a lot of leadership and experience from last year. So much youth and no offense to give them a break, it shouldn’t be difficult to grasp why they struggled. The defense kept them in every game except for AFA, Or St. and UCLA. With a little more offense SDSU could easily have finished with 8 or 9 wins this year. The Aztec D was small upfront on the DL, particulary at NT. Any D that runs a 3 man front needs a stout NT to so the ends and backers can create pressure. This D missed Tavai more than many realized. This. The D'line got manhandled most games, and when the running back hit the linebacker/secondary tier, we couldn't tackle them.

2020 football stats need to be taken with a grain of salt…actually more like a teaspoon. That was the Covid year when everything was crazy and non-normal The entire 2020 football season should be erased from the record books.

The defense took massive steps back this year, you can't spin it as a offense sucked thing cause that has happened for years and defense has still balled. We gave up nearly 400 yards a game and 26.8 PPG

would have to say this was one of the worst Dl's in a long time - Brady was not able to bring in quality guys - if they are having troubles - means the LB's have to try to stop the run - then that can leave DB's on one on one coverage - which usually means their QB can have a field day . As pointed out it all starts with the line play on both sides of the ball -
Was surprised that McDonald and Moon did not seem to be as good as projected at LB

In-depth look at Colorado's offense vs USC's D. This was when Sean Lewis was still calling the play for Colorado. Surprising that he does run the ball and uses a fullback also.

We gave up nearly 400 yards a game and 26.8 PPG This happens when your offense is ranked 107 with 35% 3rd down conversion rate. A young defense on the field too long. Massive step back? Nah man. They improved by season’s end, or did you not see them handle CSUFresno?

They improved by season’s end, or did you not see them handle CSUFresno? They did improve massively and they were led by underclassmen It still doesn't negate the fact the pass rush was ineffective without blitzing and not really that good when it did blitz. That happened all season long including the Fresno game. The poor tackling happened during the Fresno game too. Take their long TD run. That didn't actually improve. Remember when it was nearly impossible for several years for a running back to have 100 yards rushing against the Aztecs? Now, it's a surprise when they're held below 100 The coverage somewhat improved especially from the freshman safeties. But they went from awful to average at best.

Exactly the kind of hire I expected AD Wicker to make. A head coach with a lossing record that has an offensive gimick. Time will tell, but I don't see him as lasting Long (pun intended) like Chuck. Anyone think he will be better than our most successful coaches (Coryell, Gilbert, Rocky Long, Luginbill and Hoke-only because of Rocky)? I sure don't see a Coryell, lots of teams play hurry-up now. Don, Claude and Rocky had the leadership factor.
I don't think X's and O's are our problem, it is players. Once he picks his staff we will have a better idea, and we should know by the summer when the roster is filled out.
I want to be wrong, but I don't see a return to winning football.

It seems strange they would announce it on social media before having a press conference

Not sure it’s wise to scrap 12 years of defensive success based on one bad season. Just like I said I didn't think hiring a DC as a HC meant we wouldn't have a good offense neither will I say have an OC as HC precludes us from having a good defense. Coryell did when he was here. When it comes down to it, coaches want to win.
