Joe Rossi

I would take Rossi back as Co-defensive coordinator in a heart beat, he can handle the run defense and let Rossi handle the pass defense and work together. In this instance I would be pretty clear this is a collaboration effort and not demoting Collins. Would not hurt to have two minds reviewing the film and game planning. Would help with mentoring the linebackers too which is an area we need help or additional resources.

I've tried to sell that to people I've demoted as well.
 



I'd be fine with Rossi as a position coach, but do not want him back as DC. I feel strongly that his defensive planning worked for the B1G west but not for the mega-B1G we now find ourselves within. I feel like we parted ways with him at the right time. Just wish we could have held on to Hetherman.
 





I’d take him back in some capacity, but not sure it’s a good look to replace Collin’s with him. Even if you replace Sori Marin and let Rossi coach LBs again it could rock the boat.

Why TF would there be "co coordinators?"

And why would Rossi take that situation?

And where are we getting the money for 2 D Coordinators?
 





Rossi is not the recruiter Collin’s is. Plus as ergo said Hetherman had the better style for the mega conference. Rossi would be great as an analyst though .

He’s more accomplished than our current DC that’s for sure, but the MSU defense was worse than ours this year.

Correct, and our defense right before he left was the absolute worst of Rossi’s tenure. I wouldn’t be upset if he brought Rossi back in some capacity, but if he was to move on from Collins, I think I’d rather see what other EXPERIENCED DC’s might be interested before I gave it to Rossi.
 




Never try to get the old band back together, it never works out.

After getting burned by Kirk Ciarrocca leaving for a second time after Fleck hired him back, I doubt Fleck will risk the same thing happening by hiring Rossi back.

Was thinking the same thing.
 

No on Rossi. I can't see that working.

Maybe Collins is the guy long term with growing pains to figure it out, but it sucks to risk those growing pains at the Power 4 level. All previous D coordinators here under Fleck had a bunch of experience.

I'd love to have another Hetherman here, but those hot rising stars are just that, rising and not here for long. Even the college blue bloods like Miami are just stepping stones to the NFL.

Rossi left for more $$ not vague "family on the east coast" like KC.

This is the answer. Need a guy like Hetherman that improves every where he goes. Look at his track record and guys like Vince Kehres from Toledo.

I think the thing with Corey is they will be a rental for sure.
