Dan Malone says new defensive coordinator Ed Pinkham gets to work on the 2017 UMass defense.
Quote from the article:
"The thing that excites me as a coach is the challenge of building a program," he (Pinkham) said. "We were in a situation (at Western Michigan) where we took a team the first year, didn't have much and we went 1-11. You say each year we're going to get better and better and better. Through recruiting and trying to keep it simple, we were fortunate enough to have some success."
One of the main reasons for the rise of Western Michigan was recruiting. The Broncos led the MAC in recruiting ratings four straight years. As well as X's and O's, I hope Pinkham can turn UMass' defensive recruiting up a notch or two.
Dan also has general report on the opening of Spring practice. He notes Pinkham likes to play a four down linemen defense.
