Oh thank God.

Great move to bring in support. I don't know remember much talk about how good the Tech defenses were. It was always the offense that received the most attention.

Of course, he comes with some "drama", allegedly: http://newsok.com/former-texas-tech-.rticle/5344550. But so did Willis.

They gave up 468 yards rushing to arkansas the week before he resigned

----The guy has been around the block and I noticed the N Alabama connection--Wonder if was there with HUD??

[Geaux]

so is the writing on the wall for someone on the staff

Great, hire the guy who led a dumpster fire of a defense before quitting midseason. Cool.

[MountainDew]

We need all the help we can get on defense.

[MountainDew]

Actually I think this shows how committed Hud is to turning this thing around.

The La Tech DC was fired bc of a dumpster fire of a defense at UT, seems to be working pretty well for Tech.

I think there is a big difference from coaching against big 12 offenses and sun belt ones Hope he moves to a 4-2-5 with man coverage

[Ragin4U]

Am I missing something? The D looks the same now as when Stewart was fired. Hard to believe two different DCs schemes and coaching are this bad. Maybe the issue is with the position coaches. Rebowe? Or is Hud overriding the defensive coaches on gameplanning?
