Who's your pick to take over the defense? I would hope we do a real national search for the DC position and not just stick with what's currently in-house. Here's an intriguing name I saw just looking at defensive rankings this year:
Bill Brechin - Miami University (OH) Defensive Coordinator
- In his third year as DC at Miami they currently rank #11 in the nation in defensive stop rate (the percentage of a defense's drives that end in punts, turnovers or a turnover on downs.)
- Miami's 2023 defense allowed just nine touchdowns(!) in conference play and held all eight opponents under their season scoring average.
- In Brechin's first year (2022) running the defense, Miami led the MAC in scoring defense (22.6) and rush defense (135.9) and forced 22 turnovers, a Miami best since 2014.
