I guess we casually set aside the fact that Foster was the DC for the first


4 years under Fuente. And honestly, I'd take our O from 2016 and 2017 all day long. I think this is a bad take for a couple of reasons. Given the talent, the Fuente O with Corny did work. I doubt we will ever see a passing game as prolific as 2016 for a long time. The problem was that the talent dropped off considerably after 2016-2017.

As far as Foster - if he hadn't fallen down the well with Timmy in 2018, maybe it would have worked out better. But he was about as experienced a DC as you could ask for and fell flat on his face.

Lastly - I love these 'concern' posts. As if Whit purposely chose to hire someone way worse than what he could have gotten. If Brian Kelly can get $15 million; what experienced HC are you hiring for $4.5 million? Presumably someone worse than Brian Kelly. Heck, if rumors are to be believed, we couldn't beat out Florida for Napier. I would love to know who we could have hired.
