FSU to become their DC. I was never a fan of White becoming UCLA’s HC because I’m soured on the DC to HC methodology. Cfb is now an offensively dominated game. It’s very hard to poach that successful Oc for a lateral move. If he’s good enough to be your OC he’s likely to be good enough a HC somewhere. Therefore if your DC turned HC is lucky to score a good OC, he’s gone next year to be someone’s HC.
Moreover, the defense is oftentimes fleeting. Defense is mostly about prep and skills. We overvalue scheme in college. You see high levels of vol in defenses when you take your scheme to new college. It’s usually about tackling, athleticism and discipline.
