Strong. Started his D career when we were in Big West. That’s experience.

I want to be excited. However, due to rule changes practically discouraging pass defense in both the college and NFL game, the question is, do we have a QB or an offensive game plan to win us games?

[BeauCajun]

Nor a Louisiana state retirement plan surfer.

Never coached at ULM but did at Northeastern.

The hardest thing to earn, is the respect of your players.

This coach should have it in spades.

This will be very interesting to see. I think our program with this guy calling shots on D, is gonna get us going.

Looks to be a solid coaching hire, not sure about recruiting chops.

Recruiting isn't necessary for a guy with his resume. Some coaches are not great off campus recruiters and so if you really want the guy, you make certain accommodations. He can do most of his work via camps this summer and video. No problem.

Agreed, just means the slack needs to be picked up from someone. I would think as the coordinator though, he needs to be able to close guys that assistants bring in for camps and OV’s.

Also, he might be a heckuva recruiter, just hard to glean from his resume.

[Atown cajun]

Will he be able to recruit the south. Any connections?

[fanof71]

Any idea of the type of D he'll run? Will he fit the available talent to his D or are we looking at square peg, round hole D as the available talent is concerned?
