DQ's personnel decisions on defense are one of the definitive reasons why this team has been run all over for the last few years. I will give him credit that he turned what was a historically bad unit in 2020 into a top-5 scoring defense in a very short amount of time, but in almost every game against good competition this year the defense struggled.
The defensive performance the second half of the season was just not very good. I would like to see some fresh perspective at defensive coordinator.
