What are the expectations for the defense next season? More of the same, or should we expect improvement?
How would you rationally not expect improvement?

I love the hires. It is nice to finally have a DC who knows how to call a game. While I think Fickel is a good coach, he just did not have the experience or skill set to call defensive plays on a top team.

I wasn't expecting a decline defensively last year, were you?
Considering we lost Simon, Goebel, Williams, Hankins, Howard, Johnson, and Christian Bryant played in like 5 games, yes, a good amount of people were expecting a decline defensively with a lot of underclassmen having to log a lot of snaps.
No one expected them to be as bad as they were (worst defensive in OSU history going by points).

I didn't say people expected that...he said "I wasn't expecting a decline defensively" and I told him why people expected it to regress.
I'm assuming his point what no one anticipated what happened last year, and so he's not just going to go with everyone else's expectations this year. I'm still worried about the defense personally, especially the secondary. Hopeful, but worried.
A lot of the secondary returned last year and they were the weak spot on the team.
