1/3 of being a great coach is hiring and empowering great assistant coaches
Ron English had a decent Defense before he left. They hired Greg Robinson and he doesn't recruit. That is a reason why the defense is in shambles. Nobody is recruiting anybody for that side of the ball. When you tie up 2/3 of the roster and coaches for offense you are asking to be a joke in 2/3 of the game. Just like we are.
Ferentz was Martins first and second choice. He basically put all his eggs in that basket. Ferentz told them NO very fast and did not even think of coming to Michigan. Then Martin went, got a commitment from Schiano, Schiano backed, then at the 11th hour said yes again. They had already moved on.
I think if they had stuck to Schiano he could have put a better D on the field than we have right now. He wouldn't have tried to make Shafer and Robinson run a Defense that was foreign to them. Shafers D was not good either way but then they put in the 3-3-5 against Purdue and got rolled.
***Look at what Shafer is doing at Cuse. Turning that D into something solid. Don't try to tell me they have more talent than Michigan***
That is when RR put everything for the D in Gibsons hands. Tony Gibson is our Cornerbacks coach, Special Teams Coach and Asst Head Coach. That is the main reason the D and ST is in shambles. RR has Gibson running these units and is not close to being qualified. Decent recruiter but that is it.
RR wants to cry about factions being around Schemy Hall treating him bad.
When you look at the defense, it should try to hide the youth on our team. The MOST youth is in the secondary. So what do we do....put 5 DBs in the game. Sounds about right.
The unit with the most talent/experience is LB and while they are playing pretty bad, I would rather have them trying to tackle than 170lbs of Talbott, Christian and Avery.
I could go on and on about this roster and what could help, but I am not a coach and never have been. Its all guessing on my part. But it sounds more logical than what the guys getting paided 1000's of $$$$ to do so are doing. Hell, pay me $50k a year, I can make a D look like swiss cheese and force 1 turnover in 4 games. Sounds pretty easy actually.

You're right but I'm always putting recruiting over scheme/motivation, especially on the elite level. Alabama wasn't anything 5 years ago.

2 things u can't hide on defense are DBs and DTs. Michigan has neither. And that's a problem. No scheme could do so.

Baylor hasn't beaten one good team yet... Kansas State is a decent win but Texas SUCKS. It wouldn't surprise me whatsoever if they lost their last four.

Pass rush won't hide horrible DBs.
Bad dbs get beat quick enough to wear a pass rush doesn't even matter.

Martin and VanBergen would be stout enough as DTs in a 4-3 scheme. Those 2 with Banks, Sagesse, Patterson, Campbell (who the coaches will not play), Black and possibly Roh is more than enough bodies to attempt to plug the middle. They just haven't even tried it.
Losing Woolfolk in the summer killed our secondary then having Turner and Vlad bounce was no help either. Then again all the attrition and lack of bodies in the secondary are due to RR. He has had 3 classes to try and do this and he hasn't. JT, Vlad, Smith, Witty, Dorsey, Cissoko, Warren,Chambers. All could be here but are not. That is 8 guys in 4 years. Add to it Mike Williams and Troy Woolfolk are done for the year. Who would look at this team and think that secondary would be a strong point, thus putting 5 out there at a time?
