Yea but this is where I'm worried.
Name me a single G5 team that's dominated with good defense.

Historically, you have to be dynamic offensively to be a major player in G5.
Plus, it's just harder to get big time defensive talents to the G5 teams. Mostly because there just aren't that many of them.

Not saying it wouldn't be a good hire.. I just don't know if that will translate.

For the most part you are right, Charlie Strong is really the only current G5 i can think think of and when he was at Louisville and technically they were Big East most of the time he was there. Doreon while at NIU had 2 great years but he wasn't there long enough to really tell. Gary Patterson is probably the best defensive guy success story I can think of in the G5 ranks but that was a long time ago.

I just don't see how Pry would be q candidate. None of current admin was here when he was and it's not like he was connected with a history of winning while here. I just don't see Pry as the type of guy we need right now. He's q good guy but I personally don't feel he is right guy. I'd prefer viator over pry.

Pry has had a steady climb up the coaching ladder. Albeit exclusively defensive, he’s also had several asst head coach gigs. My gut feel is he’s more than ready for a G5 HC job. No feel for his recruiting ties; so that would be a concern. But hopefully something he could fill with a good staff.

Viator has won every he s gone. By won i mean they sure better off than before. No disrespect to him at all. But if a big time coordinator is available I saw dream big.

He hasn't won at ULM yet...yeah he's improved but he took over a one win team..

I'm sure Pry understands what it takes to recruit in this area from his time here. He'll hire folks who can handle the areas we'd need. I've been saying for years that we need to run the spread, but one that throws the ball as the primary form of attack. It's much easier to recruit high quality skill position players to mid-majors than lineman when you're throwing the ball around the park. I rather and attacking defense as well, cut can understand how that doens't always work depending on opponent. JMO

Yes but Wisconsin has played the same brand of football for 100 years. They are an offensive lineman and Linebacker factory. Those are key positions in the game. And the university practically recruits itself at those positions. Plus, you can't compare us to them. It's apples to oranges in so many ways.

I'm just going off of history. Offense wins in G5. The best teams we've ever had here were all offensively talented and well coached.

I hear ya bro. Np I just hope we not getting all jacked up like we all on amphetamine just to be kicked in the nuts.

I do know from a buddy who is a SEC assistant coach that his agent notified him that UL was putting feelers out to gauge interest in position.

I’ve told you several times, Walt: I don’t trust your “sources.”

Spread V like Stokes did.. Nobody is running that, and I'd love to see it again, with todays athletes.. Let's find that guy.

We don’t have the money to replace Hud.

Louie Cook? Someone had to do it.
