Seeing that it's scUM I wouldn't put it past them that they actually made this decision over a week ago but decided to wait until all the ink on the LOIs was dried before making the move to actually fire him. Not that the kids can't just bail to elsewhere if they want, but it's a minor inconvenience at least for them.

The margins are not razor thin. You are confusing the, one recent, result with the process.

Day has built a machine that puts his NFL system and NFL skill players against college defenses that can't handle the scheme or talent gap. He has a huge per play margin, not a razor thin one.

When you have a skill margin, you suppress the luck piece and the opponent has the worst possible odds of success. You are advocating increasing your opponents lifeline (luck).

They became razor thin when we were deep into the second half. We had an opportunity to go up tempo to give us another drive if we didn't score or only tied it. Instead we put everything on that last drive. There is an argument for it, but given the earlier redzone struggles, I didn't agree with it real time nor do I now. That was a poorly managed game and it cost us. We should've been far more aggressive in the middle 8 too. If we come away with scores on the last possession of the 1st half and first possession of the second half, it's game over

I think this assumptiom is the potential flaw. We know this is a very sound, solid defense. No doubt. But what happens if other teams get more cracks at it? Do you throw in another busted run? An Iggy PI? Do they get worn down from their base, not many subsitute defense? Does an OC figure something out?

I have pretty good faith they’d be okay. And who knows the flip side is - what if an aggressive, tempo offense does score and we let the defense play with a lead?

At this point, all the “resting” goes out the window. It’s time to go all out now - so if the offense needs to hit the gas pedal, I think Day goes for it now.

At the very least, maybe we need more Endzone shots from the 30-40 range if short fields are an issue. Easier said than done.

This is a historically great defense. It is not a vulnerability. If you're playing the odds, our offense is more likely to peter out than our D is to give up a lot of scoring drives.
