Conklin is my preference over Rodgers but I’m good with both. More bc of a Conklin has been in college and fits with JH style. He is aggressive. He has LSU and Texans stealing coaches he has developed at Wofford. Winning HC

Wofford in 2019 defense was #1 in his conference in total defense, rush defense and sacks.

In 2018, #1 in conference in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and passing defense.

In 2016 at Pitt they were #6 nationally in sacks. 8th nationally in defensive TDs, 16th national vs run. They had 111 sacks in his 3 seasons as DC. Ejuan Price had 24.5 sacks in 2 seasons under him. Also developed Jordan Whitehead. Learned under a stud in Narduzzi

His fiu defense prior to Pitt was number 1 nationally in fumble recoveries, 2nd in defensive TDs, 4th in turnovers.

Byron Moore Was 8th in nation in interceptions the one yr Conklin was his Saftey coach.

JH said he wants an aggressive style coach that gets after QB and forces turnovers. This is his guy imo. Perfect fit.
Overall, though, his numbers at Pitt were very mediocre.
 
Was in Lagos on assignment and they judge distance with time. “An hour” there is equal to “across the street” stateside.
Lol...I used to tell my Mom and step-father that there was a mathematical equation to their time...when they said 30 minutes away you had to multiply times 2.37 to get the real time.
 
Truthfully, it seems we've faced the exact opposite the last 3 hires. Plenty of us blindly bought into Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt. Each time I ignored the little voices warning me otherwise and jumped into the deep end of belief, only to be disappointed. I've tried hard not to be overly negative, only express my concerns, but there's a lot to be concerned about. And a lot of people want to ignore those concerns as if they don't exist.

But ultimately, it doesn't matter how we think this set of coaches, or any set of coaches, works out. We don't get to decide who is and isn't hired. But it's silly, IMO, to attack someone for expressing doubt in these coaches. It's not as if I'm attacking anyone for believing in them. I've said it before, we all want what's best for the team, we just have different opinions of what that is. And that should be okay, only for some, it's not.
I have not attacked anyone. I get why you are hesitant to buy in. My point was that the ink was not even dry on the Tweet before some folks were criticizing the hire. Everyone is entitled to express what they think. My opinion is that I am going to support him but I have no guess at how good he will be because it's way too early have a meaningful opinion. This is a message board. We are fans. We let our passion about our team overcome our logic. It's just disheartening for me to see this much negativity before we have a clue as to how he will do.
