Having both the DC and Co-DC be from positions in the secondary I don't think is optimal. At least one of them should be a LB or DL coach, have to toughen up the box to help out the DBs. Edge rushing has been real good this season but the interior DLine play hasn't been good enough in league play.
I'm looking at Lou Esposito to be a candidate for the DC position. Lou is the defensive line coach at Michigan. Who was a former bronco at Western after PJ became the head coach here. Start with the guys up front will bring up the rest of the defensive unit. A highly ranked recruiter according...

Hard to say if Gameday would come back to dinkytown. Indiana v Ohio state and the Pac-2 championship is also the same day. Both are storylines that could merit a Gameday visit.
It would be more likely to get Big Noon Kickoff for the Penn State game. Fox's show will be scheduled for Columbus 3...
