It's funny how events change over time in our minds.

The facts are that Coach Cook was on the staff during some of the Jake era, eventually as OC. He was a great recruiter and a big reason Jake was so successful.

He wasn't interested in the Cajuns job when we hired toothpick.

He was when we hired Bustle. I believe he was in the final 3 under consideration.

If he was good enough to coach in college he would still be coaching in college. Not saying that he isn't a good coach, good person or good recruiter...saying that you can't compare the last 4 years we have had to the jake years. Quite frankly the quality of the teams the last 4 years have been heads and shoulder above the jake years and we can afford and have the means to get a coach and recruiter heads and shoulders above Coach Cook.

Don't worry. I'm sure he will learn the new name and keep right on yelling. Just 3 - 4 seats down the row from me and it would sure be nice without the yelling. Or better yet, he can put his name in for the job!! And doesn't the D coordinator coach from the box not on the field? What good does yelling at him do

+1 Coach White already had co attached to his title. I think they will look for a secondary coach. Now the guy In DD won't. Have anything to scream at Coach Willis about! The games may become a little more enjoyable without that idiot yelling.

James Willis, who served as defensive coordinator for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football team during the past two seasons, will leave the staff to pursue a coaching position with the NFL's New Orleans Saints, head coach Mark Hudspeth announced on Wednesday.

He is a good recruiter. Look at what he brings in at ND!

Let's not jump the gun fellas. Give Willis a day to change his mind.

I seriously laughed out loud with that one.

Maybe he can stay home for the games to prepare to yell at the TV on Sunday.

My money says the new DC is already on staff, and was before Willis left.

If I'm thinking the same person as you, he's pretty much free for us this year and was already listed as the co-defensive coordinator.

[cajunhawk]

I'm still sticking with Lance Guidry. We get some of our best coaches out of Ryan Street High School. I don't think he has been in trouble with the law lately. We have shown we will hire coaches with questionable choices in life. I'm down for some Defense With Attitude.

Who is coach White? I thought Melvin Smith had co-defensive coordinator attached to his name.
