Defensive staff

[USLJim]

Is it just me, I personally think our 3 coaches that were on Auburns staff and got released when Muschamp was hired never intended to be here for the long haul. To my knowledge they were all still getting paid by AU when they took this job. IMO they are out of here first chance the get at being an assistant again in the SEC and HUD may be looking for a DC again this year. Just the vibe I get from that bunch.

I have been saying this to some of my friends all season long. This is not where they want to be. They are here binding their time for another chance a bigger conference.

Why not go after some real hunger coaches from other FCS or Mid Majors Universities that are probably better than what we have here and hire them. Let face it, Lafayette is a fun place to live, the University is on the Rise, and they have fun.
I am tired of getting fired coaches from other Universities, let's entice good smart minded coaches to come here.

I can't believe these guys are 100% motivated for us.

I think he is sketchy, but the man can coach defense. He is fiery and motivates his players to play above their heads quite often.

Just because someone coached in sec does not mean he can coach. Of course whenever to change your DC, much less your whole defensive staff, you take a step back before you see any improvement. This seems like a giant leap backward.

No doubt he has some issues but every where he goes good defense follows.

We completely changed what we do. I expected a step back, I just thought that the DL would produce a little more.

Our play at the S position has been poor. I didn't realize that NMSU was 15-39 on Saturday, that's pretty good, until you look at 4TD passes.

One of our safeties dropped two catchable interceptions. Did it last week too.

Their completions were nothing more than jump balls, and they took shots deep. Like everyone else we've played this year.

Right he has a defense that covers and tackles well and gives up very few big plays on 3rd down.

We have players with attitudes that just "don't want". DL is not good enough to run his scheme. We're playing Walkons at CB. We've changed our entire scheme in one off season. Kids are playing press man for the first time ever. What did you expect?

Melvin Smith is not the problem, and may be the best coach we have on staff.

I can't tell if that was sarcastic or not. He may know Xs and Os (I can't tell to be truthful) but his dogged determination to play press man in all circumstances, and failure to adjust after failing at it so early and so often calls your statement into question. Further, that his D lineman cannot get off of blocks makes me wonder what you are seeing that I am not.
