North Carolina gave up 467 points this year and that's an average of 39 points given up per game.
And they still have a bowl with Rutgers left.

I guess VK forgot how to coach over the last 2 years. It has nothing to do with the fact that Dan Disch is the ACTUAL DC at UNC and he is Associate head coach for defense. 2 people running 1 defense. Disch was DC under Fedora at Southern Miss and moved with him to UNC. Prior to that he was with VK at Illinois. I'll take VK ANYDAY. His bio is impressive when he is running the show...But all the naysayers already know that.....
From UNC website:
Carolina is Koenning's second tour of duty in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He was Clemson's defensive coordinator from 2005-08 where he accomplished something no other Tiger defensive coordinator had accomplished in the school's history. Each of his four Clemson defenses finished in the top 25 in scoring, total and pass efficiency defense.
Koenning left Clemson and spent one season at Kansas State under Bill Snyder and two seasons at Illinois under head coach Ron Zook. He improved the Illini defense from 91st in the country in 2009 to 38th in 2010 and seventh in 2011. Illinois gave up just 291.8 yards per game and ranked fourth in the nation in pass defense, fifth in tackles for losses and ninth in sacks. Illinois defensive end Whitney Mercilus led the nation in sacks and was second in tackles for losses. Koenning led Illinois to a 20-14 win over UCLA in the Kraft Fight Hunger bowl on Dec. 31 as the team's interim head coach.
Koenning's first season with the Illini was an unquestioned success as he improved Illinois' defense from 76th in the country in rushing defense to 32nd, 96th to 48th in scoring defense, 100th to 61st in passing defense and 83rd to 22nd in turnover margin while serving as defensive coordinator and secondary coach.
In 2009, he helped Kansas State improve from 112th in the NCAA in rushing defense in 2008 to 16th in 2009, total defense from 117th to 40th and scoring defense from 110th to 48th. KSU allowed 140 yards fewer last season than in 2008 and 12 points per game less than the previous year.
In 2008, Clemson's defense led the ACC in scoring defense and ranked ninth in the nation by allowing just 16.6 points per game. The unit also was 12th in the nation in pass defense, 11th in pass efficiency defense, tied for eighth in interceptions and 16th in total defense.
The 2007 defensive performance might have been the best of his tenure at Clemson. The Tigers had just one player make first or second-team All- ACC despite leading the ACC in pass defense and turnover margin, and finishing second in total and scoring defense. Clemson was ninth in the nation in total defense (307 ypg), and 10th in scoring defense (18.7 ppg).

Also East Carolina's offense is currently ranked 5th in the country under offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley. Riley learned his offense coaching under Mike Leach for several years, and the Hal Mumme coaching tree continues to thrive.

What are your thoughts on Lance Guidry. Current DC at Mcneese St and was DC at WKU in 2011-12. My Ouija Board points to initials VK. Only time will tell? Anyway,. GO TROJANS! That was the word around the campfire when NB got the HC gig. Not sure what has transpired since though. So, yeah, only time will tell.

Footballscoop is reporting that John Sumrall will join the staff. Doesn't say as the DC but thats what I would think.

Sumrall's defense was a crucial part of Tulane's first bowl-eligible season in 2013, as the team was second in the nation in turnovers created with 35 (16 fumble recoveries and 19 interceptions). The 19 interceptions ranked as sixth in the nation, while the 16 fumble recoveries were good for fourth in the NCAA.
Additionally, the defensive unit allowed just 352.1 yards per game, ranking 22nd overall in the nation in total defense. The defense totalled 2.92 sacks per game, good for 13 in the nation, while the red zone defense was ranked 11th in the NCAA.
Been reading about him since he was mentioned and Hemi approved. Hemi's approval being the key here. Keep on hiring the younger guys. DT84 approves. facebookthumbup threadT1

College is different from high school. His comments were still about the city of Troy. It would not be hard for any other coach to point that out to a recruit Troy can be a cliquish town. But those same cliques are the ones that head to Tuscaloosa and Auburn on game weekends. Dean's comments were not speaking ill of the entire town, but a certain few "heavyweights." He spoke the truth, and people didn't like it.

Mike DeanJust can not get on this band wagon. Its not the calling players losers, hell they might be losers. Its not the mad parents. Its the multiple claims of being uninspiring and non motivational. We had enough of that in the previous staff. Any + besides just a name and that it seems yall might be beer drinking buddies? See article comments.
