Dump Anderson. Hire Mason. It's not complicated.

You name it, Anderson has done poorly at it over the last 3 years.

Anderson has been a good DC when he’s had some talent. For those that watched Sat, after Cal’s opening drive, which I described at the time as like a sh-t through a goose, they adjusted. Started blitzing much more and  running games up front.  After Cal’s first drive I had the over/under on Cal at 40. Held Cal to 17 rest of game.  I would have given you long odds for that.

If Mason is a top-notch recruiter who can bring something to the table in that respect then by all means bring him on. But if you expect him to walk in take this group of players and significantly improve this defense you have another thing coming. He went to Vanderbilt, a school that is historically awful in football. And they were as usual, awful. So it doesn’t look like he improved the talent pool there. And what is understandably a very difficult place im sure to recruit.

Coaching is always important. But nothing is as important as the Jesse‘s and the Joe‘s. That’s what needs to improve most going forward on the defensive side of the ball.
