New OC at UL, Blake Anderson

[rhineaux]

After last year's debacle when UL was picked to win the SBC and go to a bowl game, Bustle needs to produce, and he knows it. He needs to win after 5 years. That he picked this guy as OC, knowing the pressure he will be under to produce, to me says a lot about the guy he picked. Either that or he just did the best he could with the salary constraints he had. Either way, year 6 needs to be a significant year and he apparently feels this guy can help to get us there.

I love the picks, both OC and DC. these are two guys that have produced great results and put up great numbers. No, they haven't done it in a BCS conference, but, it's not like we were gonna steal jimbo fisher (for lack of a better reference) from Bobby Bowden's hands. these two have had success before, in the conference that they are in now. What else can we ask for? One of the things that Bustle wanted to improve with his coaches was experience, and now he has done that. Our pass defense sucked before, so we got the DC (and his DB asst.) from the best defense in the conference. Our pass offense sucked, so we got a former position coach/OC from what used to be the best offense in the conference. his experience as an attacker will also do great for play calling and keeping defenses on their toes. Not to mention, both of these guys have been recruiting coordinators at some level, and will be great recruiters.

I believe the new guy's credentials are better than the guy he replaced.

I'm all good with the new coaches. Wish them all much success. I like the experience level that they have. I believe it will show on the field. Welcome to the Ragin Cajuns Coach Anderson.

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."

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.

...Blake Anderson as the Ragin’ Cajuns offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

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

Since Blake Anderson was a very successful OC/WR coach why not let him take over OC/WR duties and hire a pure QB coach instead?

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.
