Under Coach Hank, we had a defense system that was good enough to win the Big Ten West in two of three seasons. When Coach Hank retired, we switched to a new defensive coordinator with a substantially different new system. Why did we switch to a new system when the old one seemed to be working? Coach Hank left under good conditions to a scheduled retirement and maybe we should have found someone to replace him who had the same basic philosophy for the defense.
The new defensive system seems to be an abject failure and I don't understand why we switched from a system that was working.
