You know I'm trolling you right?! I guess I do now!

I believe a good coach should be able to run both and switch within a game and from game to game depending on opponents throughout a season. Now, the coach should pick one as it's predominant defense based on players on the team and the top CAA opponents you have to go through to win the conference championship.
Defense wins championship, so why not hire the best defensive staff and recruit the best players possible to run that defense that matches up well against the top team (i.e. Alabama or Georgia in the SEC). The exception is if you have been the dominant team in the conference due to the top offense or top defense, then let the opposing CAA teams adapt to you. We are not in this situation since we are the new kid on the block in the CAA, therefore we build (players and staff) to dethrone the top 1 or 2 teams.
Now if I knew nothing about the conference, then I would choose 3-4 defense based on the assumption that teams these days like to pass and spread you out more. Then I would change to 4-3 and 6-2 occasionally based on the situation in the game.

I would run 6-2 only for 4th and inches or goal line stance, if I feel they will run the ball or qb sneak, otherwise I am not using it. That is why I say within game situations you must adjust, but you must have a predominant base defense which is either 3-4 or 4-3.

I like the havoc a 3-4 can create but do we have the talent at NT? Seems like over the last 2 classes we've recruited lightly for interior defensive linemen. Are we ready to make that conversion?

I like the havoc a 3-4 can create but do we have the talent at NT? Seems like over the last 2 classes we've recruited lightly for interior defensive linemen. Are we ready to make that conversion? We recruited 5 last year, 1 ended up at a JUCO…didn’t step foot on campus. Chris Abraham 6-foot-2, 270, Defensive Tackle Cox Mill/Concord, N.C. He signed with the Aggies during the early signing period in December. He is an excellent run stopper and should fit well with the Aggies run stop scheme. He led Cox Mill to a first-round playoff appearance. Chris Allen 6-foot-3, 270, Defensive Tackle Wake Forest HS/Wake Forest, N.C. He comes from one of the most talent-filled high school programs in the state. He is ranked as a 3-star recruit by 247Sports. He also considered Akron, Campbell and Old Dominion before attending N.C. A&T. He should develop into a solid defensive end for the Aggies. He is the 43-ranked player in North Carolina. He made 171 career tackles with 24 tackles for loss and 13 sacks. He led Wake Forest to an 8-4 record in 2021 and an appearance in the second round of the Class 4A playoffs. Xzavier Fields 6-foot, 300, Defensive Tackle Corinth-Holders/Wendell, N.C. The Aggies added another defensive lineman to the 2022 class. Fields made 128 tackles and sacked the quarterback 10 times during his career. Caleb Jones 6-foot-, 300, Defensive Tackle Oscar Smith/Chesapeake, Va. The Aggies added a lot of depth on the defensive line, as Jones will bring plenty of talent. He also considered Morgan State, Army and Georgetown. He led Oscar Smith to back-to-back Class 6A state championships. He was also named all-state and Class 6A defensive player of the year. Jones is a three-time All-Tidewater selection who recorded 88 tackles, 47 tackles for loss and 15 sacks. Jhyheem Pittman 6-foot-2, 290, Defensive Tackle Dudley/Greensboro, N.C. The Aggies have done well with Dudley recruits in the past, and Pittman should be no different. He recorded 189 tackles (106 solos) in two seasons. He also posted 28 sacks. He led Dudley to the Class 3A state championship crown. He was also named the Class 3A defensive player of the year by the News & Record.
