Confirmed New DC is Lance Guidry

[JMG]

This is a good hire.

 

[iamB_rock]

I posted expect a dc announcement soon an hour ago , that’s just not the name I expected.

who did you expect

 

[AK_Cane]

He's fielded good defenses at these lower schools let's see if it translates. Risky hire but let's see if it works

 

[Geddy Lee]

The numbers don’t lie. I’m happy about this hire.

 

[mossmadness]

Just looking at points allowed is impressive for their schedule last year. Pitching a shut out in today’s game is hard.

Even more impressive when F+ has the Marshall offense as the 120th ranked offense in the country last year.

Marshall basically just came out, took three kneel downs and punted and said, “good luck defense.”

 

[Katzenboyer]

This is a terrific hire.

Makes me hopeful that we aren't just chasing big names because money talks, and that potential coordinators are being evaluated based on results, not splashiness.

 

[E1k]

#1 3rd down conversion def
#9 1st down defense
#6 INT forced
#27 PYPG
#19 red zone defense
#5 rushing defense
#16 total sacks
#22 TFl
#5 in TO Created
#8 total D
#6 scoring D

Pressure on the QB all ******* day

Numbers great but we know first hand that we should dig deeper to see. Not saying he’s bad or good i just don’t know enough

 

[ZeroBeachCane3]

Wonder how many assistants will be retained

This

 

[TheOriginalCane]

actually impressive considering how sudden the Steele move happened. apparently a good hire by reviews so im good lets roll (TBH, i dont think he flopped on the D staff last year either)

I do believe Mario knew Steele was done.

If you go back to things that Cribby and others have said, there were coaches on the staff who got tired of grinding by mid-season. Steele seems like the most tired of the bunch.

 

[FL Cane]

This is a good hire, and it’s proof that Mario is willing to go outside his comfort zone. It’s not some rehash he coached with a million years ago or a guy who just got canned at his last job.

 

[P-Tizzle]

He has also coached DBs.......Addae may be on the block.

 

[Hurracanes]

LCE aka @Memnon had his name on a list all the way back in November. Not sure if he didn’t have him in his top 5 in his January list update since he just took the Tulane gig but seems to have his backing which makes it a-ok with me.

I thought of @Memnon, as well. Wasn't sure if he was the one who brought him up or someone else. This is an exciting hire.

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

Looks like he can coach. My concern right now is his staff. Who are his guys?

Is he going to be surrounded by guys who have already proven they know how to recruit at this level? Or is he bringing in his preferred group of 5 staff?

 

[WestEndZone]

Who?

 

[Bender]

Peace out

I told y'all. Doesn't matter who we hire. People will *****.

 

[Cane6]

I do love me some gumbo

 

[rsa coral gables]

so an under the radar, not shiny new object DC.

 

[supacane]

Sure someone said it but they beat ND and the full game is of course on youtube

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

Let me preface this by saying he should be allowed full autonomy regarding hiring defensive assistants.

BUT….if there was any interest to keep DVD and give him an “on field” position while learning under Guidry (natural DB guy by trade)…this would fit the bill.

Again, let Guidry make the call…but it could be done. Especially if Addae is gone.

Bring me those Louisiana inroads.

 

[Mikesmith29150]

Dof

I don’t know who he is so I’m going wait to see how everyone else responds lol

Do like the rest of us and wait for Cribby, DMoney, LCE etc.. to tell us how to feel about it
