Univ at Buffalo Bulls hiring Joe Cauthen as defensive coordinator / Buffalo moved on after one season

Easier math.

Yeah, giving up touchdowns, by the offense or defense, has a way of skewing opponents PPG averages. On the other hand, we need to get our own defensive TD’s. How many did we get off turnovers last year. Off hand, I can only think of the one long INT by Parish.

Stuard also has one early in the season.

Coach has already commented in a Spring presser about the lack of turnovers forced so I think it will improve. I just don’t want a guy to miss a tackle while going for an int or strip.

To me it depends on how consistently good the offense is, if we can score consistently then I absolutely believe we should be more aggressive in getting turnovers.

But we’ve been really, really bad at TO"s the last couple years of we went to win it has to improve.

Well hes never out of a job for long

Cauthens 2nd stop at SFA. He was DL coach in the late 90s.
A few years removed from mostly solid defense at UH/AAC, his scheme should work well in the WAC.
