From 2012 - 2014, Stanford ranked either first or second in yards allowed on defense.  Reynolds has been dl coach since 1016 with the regression
apparent.  Is this personnel or coaching?

Personnel everywhere, DL issues (some coaching some not), and horrible ILB recruiting. Helps to keep in mind that the 2012/2013 defenses had nearly EVERYONE drafted or UDFA.

DL issues post 2014:
- Aziz Shittu not granted a medical redshirt after tearing his ACL early in the season one year (I forget which year)
- Medical retirements of Ikenna Nwafor and Wes Annan, the only DTs not named Harrison Phillips and Jordan Watkins (who never broke out and weighed 275 anyways)
- Luke Kaumatule playing a different position every year, instead of staying on the DL after year 2 which should've been the obvious choice if our coaching staff had any shred of understanding of future needs
- Not an "issue" because both of these are blessings and wonderful, but STRICTLY from an unable-to-effectively-contribute perspective: both Bo Peek fathering a child and Michael Williams' heart condition and subsequent successful surgery this past season
