Haywood is not going to be content to be a special teams coach very long. If not for his domestic violence baggage, he would be head coaching in Division I. Peveto has blown his chances at Coordinator and Head Coach, but was a successful position coach once and may have to be one for the duration.
Better go with Haywood. Diaz got his ass run out of Texas cause he was more concerned with wearing cool sunglasses and chest bumping football players than getting them to play D. He stinks from what I can tell.
Of the three, BDP is the best. I saw Haywood a couple years ago while at a Spring game in Tx. Too much baggage. Diaz, some of the coaches I know, didnt know why Mack hired him for DC. BDP for me is the better choice of the three, but that's me. Well respected, knows Tx coaches and recruiting.
A lot of his peers thought he did a good job in 2010 with the MSU defense. Out of the four losses that season, the two biggest ones were against LSU and Bama (@ 3 TD's.) They played the Auburn and Arkansas teams pretty close in those two losses. They had a good run defense that year and if you recall Mack had just been gashed in the NC game with their run defense. I recall him mentioning how he wanted to "toughen up" the TX run D.
The game that opened the eyes of the college football world (2011 after Diaz was hired by Mack) had to be that Baylor game to close out the season. As I recall, TX won their games against TTU and A&M. Losing to Baylor threw their fan base into a frenzy (after dismissing the loss in 2010 as a fluke.) TX had something like a 12 game winning streak against Baylor until 2010, then dropped the game in 2011 by over three TD's. It seems like that stretch of 2010-2011 left TX with 11 losses out of 16 conference games... The cyclical nature of college football...
Yep. And a little Mormon dude running through them as if they were middle schoolers had nothing at all to do with it
