I agree.willis never give me any confidence when he speaks to the media and it pertains to X's and O's.
I think coach gave him a year to show what he had and this year coach is not impressed. He also did not do any favors when he attempted to leave after one year. I do understand it was Florida State but you have only been here a year.
the writing may be on the wall
Everyone recognizes we have a problem on defense. Making an attempt to improve, any and all attempts , is a great move. To sit and keep repeating what we have been doing and expect better results is insane. I truly believe the consultant will not make the defense worse.
??? The guy turned down twice the salary and half the stress to stay here. I applaud him for that, don't know many people who have the integrity to do that. None if us know the whole situation, this guy has coached with HUD before, his DC actually. Maybe hud's defensive philosophy is actually this guys philosophy but HUD doesn't quite know how to coach/explain it. Maybe he can give an unbiased opinion on the situation. I don't see what's the point of calling people's character as a man into question when I'm pretty sure hardly anyone on here knows james willis personally. He passed up a chance to provide for his family and probably have a chance at a national title to stay here because he felt he owed it to these guys. I'm not blaming much on willis, when Greg Stewart was let go and I quote" I want someone to come in here and teach the 4-3...someone who can really teach it. That is janes willis." The odd thing is, I'm still seeing the same scheme that greg Stewart ran, I don't think that's a coincidence.Quote:

You can't have too many good coaches around. And remember, Willis is DC, but he also coaches the linebackers, right? What's the root of much of our D's problems....linebackers. Care to connect the dots...Quote:

I would say the Cajuns problems go far beyond just the linebackers. They have coverage underneath, but are not responsible for coverage over the top and at the back end of the secondary. There is plenty enough blame to go around on the defensive side of the football.Quote:
