Jorge Munoz

_ This makes it sound like the OC job is Hudson's. _

Honestly, what is an OC? What are the qualifications? Is it the play caller? Is it the author of a team's offensive scheme? Is it the guy who makes personel decisions?

to me, it may or may not be all of those things, but as long as you have coaches who know their jobs, and do them well, then why do you need anyone to be known as the "OC"? I think that in the current environment of football (College and Pro), this is something that you're seeing more often.

In UL's case, Hudson is the OL coach, and probably has a fair amount to say about the running game and the passing game, wrt play design and so forth. Munoz will be doing the play calling, and will be in charge of developing the passing game. And overall, it's Bustle's scheme and he probably oversees everything anyway.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I looking at it to simplified. Maybe we do need a guy that is an OC that oversees everything. Maybe Bustle being too involved with the O, and not involved enough with the D, is what has hampered this team.

I may be wrong, but Bustle doesn't seem to oversee anything during a game. He has no headset to know what is going on with the coordinator upstairs or communication about adjustments or personnel. I hope I'm mistaken but I wish he'd take over the OC duties.

It appears UL head football coach Rickey Bustle has found his new quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator. His name is Jorge Munoz, who spent the past three years coaching at Eastern Illinois, an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision school from the Ohio Valley Conference. On Wednesday, UL director of athletics David Walker recommended to university president Ray Authement for Munoz to be hired. His hiring is pending approval by the UL system board of supervisors. "(UL's coaches) just seemed like a good bunch of guys," Munoz said Wednesday morning while packing up his EIU office. "I'm just looking forward to being able to fit in. I think coach Bustle expects you to work hard and will treat you fair." Bustle said he could not comment on the move because the job ad has to be posted for five days.

Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns head football coach Rickey Bustle announced the completion of his football staff on Friday. Jorge Munoz was added to the Cajuns staff as the Quarterbacks Coach and Passing Game Coordinator. One of the main responsibilities Munoz will undertake includes play calling. “Coach Munoz has the experience and knowledge to fit what we were looking for,” stated Bustle. “He is familiar with our no-huddle offense and I’m very excited to add him to our staff. “I wanted to improve our passing game and he is very technique sound with his quarterbacks.” His hiring is pending approval by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors. Prior to his hiring at UL, Munoz was on the staff at Eastern Illinois for three seasons. He was promoted to Offensive Coordinator at EIU in March of 2007 after being named co-Offensive Coordinator during the summer of 2006. Under Munoz’s direction, the Panthers proceeded to run a more diverse offense in 2006 with four players earning first team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors on offense including OVC co-Offensive Player of the Year Vincent Webb and third team All-American Micah Rucker. The Panthers ranked 18th in the nation in run offense and either ranked first or second in the OVC in rushing offense, total offense and passing efficiency. Under Munoz’s balanced attack, EIU nearly had a 1,000 yard rusher and a 1,000 yard receiver in the same season, as Webb finished with over 1,000 yards rushing for the third straight season and Rucker had 966 yards receiving to go along with 13 touchdowns. EIU continued to run a diverse offense in 2007 as the Panthers had a 1,000 yard rusher for the fourth straight season with five Panthers earning first team All-OVC honors and three players earning honorable mention All-America honors. In 2007, EIU ranked 33rd in the nation in scoring and 36th in the country in rushing yards. EIU ranked sixth for the least amount of sacks allowed, giving them back-to-back Top 10 seasons in that category. Munoz joined the EIU staff in 2005, coaching the Panthers wide receivers. He was promoted to quarterbacks coach following the 2005 season. EIU advanced to the first round of the NCAA FCS playoffs all three seasons and was ranked in the Top 20 in the I-AA polls all three years. Munoz served as the Panthers recruiting contact for north and central Florida, western Illinois and the St. Louis area. Prior to coming to Eastern Illinois, Munoz spent two seasons as the wide receivers coach at Charleston Southern (2003-04). During the 2004 season, Charleston Southern wide receivers ranked first, second and fourth in the Big South Conference. The Buccaneers passing offense ranked first in the Big South and 17th in the NCAA. After coaching stops at Southeast Missouri (1999-2000) and Bethany (KS) College (1997-97), Munoz earned his first offensive coordinator position at Anderson College in Indiana. His 2002 team set six offensive school records, ranking fifth in NCAA Division III for passing offense at 323 yards per game. That same team averaged 33 points and 451 yards of offense per contest. His 2001 team was just as good, winning the Heartland Collegiate Conference championship with the nation’s sixth best passing offense. That team set 22 school records, scoring 36 points per game and averaging 466 yards per game. A 1998 graduate of Bethany College, Munoz was a two-time All-American quarterback. He went on to play one year in the Arena Football League with the Albany (NY) Firebirds. He was also a multi-sport standout at San Diego Hilltop High School. He and his wife Erin, have two children - Ava and Alex. RaginCajuns.com
