The defensive coordinator speaks out about his plan for this year and some of the personnel changes that will be taking place.
A year ago, I remember feeling equal parts excited and nervous about what new defensive coordinator Alex Grinch would be bringing to the table for Washington State.
Today -- following a season in which the Grinch-led defense improved enough to be a major factor in the Cougs reaching nine wins for the first time in more than a decade -- whatever trepidation there was has been completely replaced by excitement at the prospect of a second-year with Grinch at the helm.
