From another press release from Texas shortly after they hired Robinson as their DC: It is the passion that will determine the characteristics of the new Texas defense. Robinson said: "When I see defense, I see a style. It's wild and reckless and flying around. It's the challenge of getting that ball back for the offense, and doing it as fast as you can. You have to create plays. Our whole objective, the philosophy I have built in my own mind, is that we are going to challenge all 11 players in every way, shape, or form. Now how do you go about doing that? It takes great fundamentals to whip a guy across from you, to cover a guy that can run 4.3, or to win on a pass rush. All of these things take great fundamentals, great techniques. We want to be great tacklers. "Then, you have to generate the reckless kind of game where you are trying to create chaos. You get that by studying the offense and really learning what you are dealing with, and attacking it as opposed to being attacked. I'm not a big believer in sit back and read and react. Are there times when you have to be able do that? Sure. What we want to do is win, and do everything we can to do that." http://www.texassports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/022504aaa.html
There's never any bias on the official universities sports site is there? Have you seen Mallory and Peveto's writeup on LSU's site? :lol:
I think everyone should really cut John some slack. Hell, he's provided me with way more information about the potential DC's (Robinson in particular) than I would have found out on my own. You may not like his style, but he's a major contributor to the discussions.
