Mike Archer Resigns

[Wireman]

If this is true - I don't like this hire.

[Watusi]

Me either, and that isn't a knock on Coach Brown. I just think UK is in a position to attract a pretty good DC. They are on the upswing coming off the big bowl win over Clemson, they return a ton of young talent, and they have nowhere to go but up as far as defensive performance goes. If the money is decent, they could attract a good DC, IMO.

I just think you have to go external with the way the defense has been playing the last few seasons.

[gametime]

It worked with Joker, right???

[Watusi]

Not saying it wouldn't work because nobody knows, just saying the scope needs to be broader than that.

Steve Brown was the defensive backs coach the past 4 seasons for the Cats. I was hoping they would bring in someone to be the DC that wasn't allready on the staff but hopefully Coach Brown will prove to be a good choice.

If this is the case...the Cards should be fine...Here's to 400 in 2007

Sounds like he's plenty qualified to me. Already knows the players, and I have no problem with coach Brooks being loyal to his staff.

[Covercorner]

Coach Brown is a quality coach, with NFL playing and coaching experience. Anyone who watched the defense this year, and has a good knowledge about defensive football and schemes, would know that the coaching staff did a very good job this year. The players were in position to make plays- this is evident by the number of forceed turnovers by this defense. Thier youth and inexperience is a big reason why they also gave up big plays to the offense. Oppurtunistic defenses are well coached defenses. Bad statistical defenses that are not oppurtunistic are not well coached- remember, I played for Mike Major(DC for Mumme).

 

And does noone remember the more than adequate defenses that Mike Archer had his first stint at UK. The team would go through offensive coordinators year after year, but Archers D was a solid SEC defense. And if you ask the Steelers, they'd probably say Archer was a pretty good linebacker coach during thier run to Super Bowl XXX. Gregg Lloyd was a stud.

No, Fletch seems to get amnesia when it comes to embarrassing UK fan predictions.
