Texas fires DC Pete Kwiatkowski

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

A bunch of months ago. I was wanting us to throw the bag at Kwiatkowski. Wish we waited and then we could’ve got him instead.

Waited? Like what ped st. did?

Wait a minute.
Was the TX defense bad this year?
91st in scoring defense for Kwiatkowski's hire year of 2021.
then
28th in 2022
15th in 2023
3rd in 2024
and 23rd this season.

Those are contract extension numbers to me. Weird.

Those numbers progress eerily similar to Banks numbers. Should we have extended him?

Out of the twelve teams in the playoff eight of them are in the top 20 in Defense.

DEFENSE IS STILL KING.

Correct!! For the youngin's out there... football will NEVER change. Here it is simply... "RUN the football and STOP the run" You'll win many more than you lose.

Wow, unless there is more to the story, that is a bizarre firing.

Evaluations didn’t go well.

Sark: “What can we provide to avoid those 3 losses?”
DC: “An offense.”
Sark: “You’re fired.”

Could provide inroads into that huge polish defense system.

Get that Warsaw pipeline going and get some big Polish tackles and we would be COOKING.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Is it to late to get a refund? And hire him instead?

I'd rather have Knowles personally.

We need Josh Heup' to let his junk drop and start mingling amongst the peers he aspires to share space with. There is destined to be some new paths to cross with and possibly blend football philosophies with. He's gotta out grow the homies and underperformers, for the sake of greatness

What the would you call hiring the former DC of the defending champs, who ate your lunch in the playoff last year no less? Do you even know who Knowles is?

Exactly! We can set up an all-you-can eat buffet of various sausages...and BOOM!

I think that's exactly what this is. But, is it an outlier or CJH's new leaf he overturned? We'll see. But like a lot of VN fans, I'm ready to see the competitive fire in his staff adjustments, as opposed to any lack thereof

The truth will set you free....


I'll check back later for more color commentary.
