It will be interesting to see what Olson does this year. I feel like their schedule is harder this year then it was last. Also, felt like Buss took a step backwards last season
Buss literally played at around 50-60% all season. Dante is a fantastic LB and should have another monster season.
If my memory is correct wasn't Buss injured preseason and was iffy for the season. If they had to put him out there in that condition it must have said something about their backups.
Yes it was an offseason injury. He and Jace Lewis split reps for most of the year and Jace was phenomenal. LB play was not a problem for the 2018 Griz despite Josh being injured. The same couldn't be said of their defensive line and corner depth.
Would you say those shortcomings on D helped Olson statistically? It's easy to see he's a special player, but do you think he takes a step back statistically if the rest of the defense is better?

Reminds me of the only quote I've ever liked from BH. He was asked to say something about Olson getting something like 22 tackles in one game and he said "who's keeping stats, his mom?" It was an obscene number.
Number of tackles can be a misleading stat. How far down the field was the tackle? Is the player playing Gap sound or cheating to make a play. All those can be hidden in a big Tackles number. I'm not saying Olson isn't good, but he and Hauck were cleaning up in the second level of the field a lot last year.
I would hope so since that was the entire design of the defense under Behr’s scheme. The DLine eats up blocks and takes on double teams while the LBs and safeties clean up, well everything. It did exactly what it was intended to as far as scheme goes. That’s why Dante and Robby has huge tackles numbers.

Sort of begs the question... Was he the only one who got any tackles (DLine sucked) or were they running at the weakest link?
Turn on any game tape of any Griz game last year and Dante jumps off the tape immediately. He had 50 more tackles than any player in the Big Sky at the end of the year while also putting up 11 tackles for a loss, 6 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. I am all for throwing shade at the Griz but making up a narrative that Dante Olson is overrated because of an over inflated tackle total? That ain't it. We can do much better.
For the record, I'm definitely not throwing shade, I'm just curious if we'll see different numbers with a better overall defense. Didn't mean a bit of disrespect.

Choate has the same effect on everyone. Even fellow head coaches. I feel better now.

It looks like it is for the assistant strength coach. I found a job posting from a month ago so Willcox is still there from what I can tell.

Don't think so. A top strength and conditioning coach at CAA school coming back to Montana as an assistant? Nope.

He is older and wanting to return home. The job posting is a month old, specifically referenced as an assistant position and listed Willcox as the point of contact. Do you think he would be hiring his replacement? MSU directory also shows a tbd under assistant strength coach.

He’s 74 and looks like a Montana native. I bet he just wants to retire at home, but being an assistant he can still do something he clearly loves to do but without the full responsibly as the head guy. Good addition, guys has a ton of experience at this level.
