I don't blame Mack for losing, I blame him for X getting their ass handed to them by Nova more often times than not. Playing a packline defense and a 1-3-1 zone against a team that shoots lights out is beyond stupid.
Steele's d philosophy certainly still has packline elements, and the defense has certainly struggled on the perimeter, but I feel better having the faith that Steele will make in game adjustments if it is warranted.Last edited by Xville; 01-16-2019 at 10:10 AM.

I guess I should have said elements of Mack's packline. I have watched Virginia a few times and again last night, and their packline is much different than what I have seen Mack's defenses do...
1.) Virginia's actually works....that of course may be to personnel but
2.) schematically when an offensive player gets the ball on the wing, the defensive pressure on the ball carrier is intense. Mack's teams instead tend to sag of, still clogging lanes.
There are different elements to the packline.

Since the new big east has formed, Nova is 125-73-1 ATS (63% cover rate!). That is #1 in covers since that time nationally. Second is Michigan st with 110-81-5.
Xavier is 8th at 102-86-4. That includes this year which has been not great for X (6-10-2).
At some point you just have to say Jay Wright is a boss and he has more talent .... and Mack was not that bad of a coach.

As of Wed Jan 16 we are 3-2 in BE play. In sole possession of 3rd place in a 10 team league. 3rd out of 10 don't suck at the moment
