Shoop schematically is one of the most difficult defensive coordinators to prepare for according to some. Jones specifically said his defenses always were difficult to prepare for offensively. Shoop to this point has never had this level of talent though. He's not only a helluva a coorditator but he is a very good positional coach as well. His defensive backs are prepared and he puts guys at that position into the league. Supposedly he is also a pretty good recruiter. This looks to be an improvement on all fronts over jancek but we'll have to see what this does to the rest of the defensive staff.
Recruiting this year though is a little down and somewhat a smaller class will be taken. If you're making a major shakeup this is the year to do it.
