UL's football program stayed within the Sun Belt Conference family to find coaches once again Wednesday.
Former Middle Tennessee co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Blake Anderson has been hired as the Cajuns' offensive coordinator, filling the third of four vacant slots on coach Rickey Bustle's staff.
A native of Hubbard, Texas, Anderson was on the Middle staff from 2002-04 along with recently-hired defensive coordinator Kevin Fouquier.
"The whole time I was at Middle, I always thought the environment and the atmosphere at Lafayette was big-time football," Anderson said Wednesday. "We played in some stadiums in the league that you had the idea that other things were more important, but when you came to Lafayette you felt the town and the people were behind you."

Anderson, a native of Hubbard, Texas, who has been out of coaching the last two seasons, joins Fouquier and cornerbacks coach Hurlie Brown as new members of the staff. Fouquier and Brown both came from posts at league rival Florida International and Fouquier served five previous years on the Middle Tennessee staff.
Bustle, who still has to fill a wide receivers position on his staff, said that Anderson fits well into the Cajuns' offensive plans.
"When you talk about a fit it's a lot of things," Bustle said. "It's fitting with people, fitting with philosophies. I think Blake's just a great fit. He's got an attacking-type philosophy and I think our kids will be excited about it."
Anderson first interviewed with Bustle at the recent AFCA Convention in San Antonio and came in for a campus visit last weekend.
"The more we talked, the more we had the same thought processes in how to attack a defense," Anderson said. "We've got some things we both feel strongly about."
"His experience and the success he's had with the passing game, it's some things I'm very interested in," Bustle said. "He's also had a lot of experience in the no-huddle."
Anderson's Blue Raider offense led the Sun Belt in scoring in 2003, with 42 touchdowns and a 27.7 average, and ranked 15th nationally in passing in 2004 with 267.7 yards per game. The Blue Raiders' passing numbers increased each of his three seasons.
Prior to those three years, Anderson was at New Mexico for three seasons as running backs coach (1999-2000) and wide receivers coach (2001), following four years as offensive coordinator at Trinity Valley Community College in Texas. That stint included the 1997 NJCAA national title.
The Sam Houston State graduate played collegiately at both Baylor and SHSU and earned his master's degree from Eastern New Mexico, where he coached the first two years of a 13-year collegiate career. He left Middle following the 2004 season.
"I knew my heart was still in football," he said, "but I stepped away to take care of my family and get away from it, get a fresh perspective. I said that when the right time came around I'd know it, and this seemed to be the opportunity ... good people and good atmosphere, everything I've found out about Coach Bustle and how he treats his coaches and players, it seemed like all the pieces to the puzzle fit."
Anderson's appointment will be effective Feb. 1. "As far as I'm concerned, I'm already started," he said. "I'm ready to go full speed."

University of Louisiana football coach Rickey Bustle filled his first of two vacancies on his offensive staff Wednesday as he announced the hiring of Blake Anderson as the Ragin’ Cajuns offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Anderson joins Bustle’s staff after a hiatus from coaching the past two seasons. In his last post, Anderson was co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach at Middle Tennessee from 2002-04.

Anderson’s hiring is pending approval by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors.
While at Middle Tennessee, he helped direct an offensive unit that led the Sun Belt Conference in scoring offense during the 2003 season and ranked 15th in the NCAA in passing offense during the 2004 campaign.
The 2003 Blue Raiders averaged 27.7 points per game, generating 42 total touchdowns.
In 2004, his Blue Raiders passing attack averaged 267.7 yards per game.
Each year under his guidance the Blue Raiders passing offense increased. Middle Tennessee went from 154.0 yards per game in 2002 to 226.7 in 2003 then 267.7 in 2004.
“I am extremely excited with the addition of Blake to our staff,” Bustle said. “His attacking offensive philosophy and experience with the mix of the no-huddle offense is a great fit for our program.”
Anderson spent three seasons at New Mexico before landing at Middle Tennessee. He served as the wide receivers coach in 2001 and running backs coach from 1999-2000.
Anderson also worked at Trinity Valley Community College (1995-98).

I know on paper UL was/is trying to replace the OC and WR coaches . . .Quote:

There may be a reason why that would not work . . . ???
I don't see a reason why he and bustle could not split the duties, although Bustle is already kinda tied up with kickers and Special teams.Quote:

If we had the luxury of a specialist for every position, that might be superior. But, in light of the situation, I think OC/QB is more natural than OC/WR. This may just be a title formality, and Bustle will fill needs in practice and game-time as he sees fit. Just my thoughts... and sometimes I don't even agree with me... me either.Quote:
