With Rhule does our interest in Simmons change?

So while trying to find some info on Rhules likely DC, Phil Snow, I found this article that talked about how the Baylor team changed their defensive alignment last year.

https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2019/08/08/baylor-football-why-bears-are-experimenting-with-three-man-defensive-front?ref=article_preview_title

Seems like they ran a lot of 3-3-5, basically nickel out of a three man front.  Article talks about the third safety, which they call "Robber", being important.  Seems like a natural fit for Simmons.  

I also think Brown has to be in heavy consideration also.

Baylor ran a 3-4 Base 

But as you see a Lot of NFL teams do, due to the way the league is going to more passing, they played a lot of nickel packages.

95% of teams in the Big12 run 4+ WR sets.  You have to be able to scheme and match to your opponent.

We ran a 3-3-5 a lot of times this year when we went to a nickel. All that means is 3 linemen, 3 linebackers and 5 DBs/safeties. Since Irvin and Burns were linebackers, anytime they were in there along with 3 down linemen and 5 DBs/safeties we are in essence running a 3-3-5.

    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those. 
    • This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like. 
    • If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
