Same thoughts here.

Moral of the story, do not believe everything you read on raginpagin. Just like you should not believe everything you hear out of the athletic department/Martin hall and the truth always lies somewhere in between.

So Greg Stewart's defense at Central Arkansas only allowed Southeastern 6 points. SLU had more that 6 points against us in the first 5 minutes of the game.

Turbine, please provide the statements for context.

He's the guy coaching the defense the last time it was just mediocre, not putrid. Good sign he'll be giving advice. After all before the ULM disaster Hud said he was clueless on how to address the defense

Last game he coached for us was the bowl game against Nevada. Defense was dominant in that game. Of course that squad had a lot more defensive talent than this one does. I see no harm in this move and it can't hurt None of the coaches on this staff are being replaced at this point. If Willis finds something by studying film which helps puts people in proper position, maybe slight improvement can occur. I don't know if anything more than that can be expected due to the personnel on that side of the ball.

That is some good perspective.

A familiar face will provide a new set of eyes for a UL defense that is at the bottom of several Sun Belt Conference categories.

Desperation. I hope we have the gonads to terminate Hudspeth.

[CajunT]

Do y'all want him to try to fix the defense or not? Bringing in a guy familiar with the program who was an NFL LB'er and coached NFL LB's when we have a huge problem at LB'er seems like a good call to me. By the way, I thought Willis hated hudspeth? That's what we were told anyway, weird that he would return to work for a man he hates.

Oh? That's interesting, I've never heard Willis hated Hudspeth.

Oh? That's interesting, I've never heard Willis hated Hudspeth.

It's documented on here. They all did, rebowe left because he hated him, not to take a gead job. Wallerstedt hated him too, he didn't leave for a D.C. Position in Cusa, Whitt hated him as well, he didn't leave to get closer to home and coach in the big 12...and Willis, was tired of HUD's ___, he didn't leave to go coach at the highest level of football. Just like all the players, of which only one is actually on another football team.
