as a defensive coordinator what would it be for 2012 and why?



Definitely in the A-/B+ range. He even said there were some moments that the guys didn't respond the way he wanted them to, but the fact he had them in position every game was very impressive. Listening to him explain their gameplan for clemson you can tell this man schemes every game differently and is really in touch with his guys strengths and weaknesses. Kudos to Botkin and Brown...and Lawing is one of the best around. Extremely solid year imo

B Plus. His team did well, but loaded with talent made him look like a genius. Weak points of course at mid-year. Florida being the worst..

I'd have to say A-.

Most of the time, he got the most out of his defense. I thought there were some questionable moves he made against Tennessee, but that could just be because UT has quite an offense.
