UL adds defensive consultant to staff

[AstroCajun]

ULM attacked UK on defense in the first half. Their offense gave up at least 14 points, in that half. Then the offense went missing and defense ran out of horses. The point is, I can respect how hard they play, how the play to wind and are aggressive. No rush at all. They've done it every week this year.

While you are lovin' up on the hoax, on their board they are doing exactly what I'd expect them to do... root for TX State.

You folks that are able, tune in to the SEC network right now. Hate to say it, but that's a respectable SBC defense.

MAT isn't loving on the Hoax, he is loving on the fact that they go balls to the wall defensively on every play until they run out of gas or depth. I applaud them for that, as well, and believe that that is a very large part of the reason they have had any success at all.

And if we went balls to the wall and ran out of gas in the 3rd qtr, people would be _____ing about how we aren't conditioned enough....

People always will find something to btich about. The trick is to not run out of gas. With our DL depth, that should be much less of an issue than it is for the hoax.

I guess you're one of these "numbers never lie" type guys. You obviously didn't watch the game. Or haven't seen ULM play this year. I'm not loving Monroe at all. I'm mature enough to appreciate a solid plan, and an aggressive playing style. No matter who's running it.

I think it's a smart move. Why does something have to be reserved for the business world? As Luke Johnson said in his chat. A fresh set of eyes would be best. A different perspective. That's being responsible. That's what an owner does who cares about his business. Hud knows what he has here is special and it looks like he is doing the smart, responsible thing.

I guess I'm looking at it from the perspective that having multiple defensive coaches, we would be able to see what our problems are from watching film and comparing to what schemes we are running. I don't think its as hard as we're making it out to be. Sure, I guess having another set of eyes to see what we are doing wrong is always welcomed but I question why we can't see it from our own coaches eyes. In the end, if it helps out great but I just question why it is required,especially since many of our problems seem to be pretty straight forward.

To put into one word the only reason bringing in an outside consultant makes sense is ... Trust.

To expand on that one word, Hud and the consultant have a longstanding relationship based on ... winning.
