James Willis ... UL Defensive Coordinator

[VObserver]

He hasn't been a head coach. I have no opinion.

[CrazyCajun]

I didn't realize I said we needed one.

Well he has never been a head coach so I know you weren't talking about his pass accomplishments as one. So how could anyone have an opinion on him as a head coach, other than you implying he could replace HUD if he left.

[Bigbuf]

Your correct I was implying that when HUD leaves he would replace him. Not saying that I want him to or that he could. Just asked what the board thought about him being a head coach.

I like Houston grads thought..lets see how he does as DC. Also like VO,s opinion that he doesnt have one. Just a question.

The guy has been around some big programs. I hope he works out as DC.

All that matters right now is we take it up a couple of notches on defense this coming year and the man recruits according to his reputation.

Responding to multiple reports that UL planned to announce the hiring of James Willis as its replacement for ousted defensive coordinator Greg Stewart sometime next week, Cajuns head coach Mark Hudspeth would only say Friday that the former Texas Tech defensive coordinator is "one of the final candidates" and that "no agreement" has been reached.

Welcome coach. Now lets go get Tevin Lawson.

HUD downplayed how much willis had to do with this class, but I don't believe him. Maybe he meant he hasn't...yet
