But . . . this is not the NFL and it kind of feels like an offense that defensive coordinators in the Big Ten won’t mind facing as opposed to the … Continue reading Everything Old Is New Again
It remains galling that Andy Enfield said he was “not disappointed” USC went 15-18 and finished ninth in the Pac-12. One of his big talking points was that USC went 95-35 in the four seasons before this one.

But let’s compare and contrast for a minute: Martindale has been a defensive coordinator for three NFL teams (Giants, Ravens, Broncos) and three colleges (Defiance, Western Illinois, Western Kentucky) prior to coming to Michigan.
