Confirmed New DC is Lance Guidry

[d--1]

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.

reporters just rehash all of those old names during the hiring process because no real names are gtting out and they don't know what else to write.

Marshall has had a great run of DC hires with Brad Lambert and then Guidry. His defense was fun to watch this past year. Hopefully he can get the same results out of our current kids.

Well here’s one approval that’s valuable. At least on the DC side it seems like we are getting the equivalent of what we’ve been clamoring for on the OC side.

Home run man. And he’s a guy that’ll be here a few years. I love it

here is the complete game from Marshall vs the Domers.

Are those blitzes I see?

 

[supacane]

Btw those numbers are impressive. I really like how they line up though, havent dug deep but i checking to see if i seen Diaz and No D lack of fundamentals. Not yet

 

[Firesite]

Not gonna cap I have never heard of him but I just gotta trust Mario at this point.

Great article on what Guidry runs:

Marshall’s Modern Take On Defense

How the Herd focus on the pass while defending the run…

Much of his work with defensive alignments and personnel reads a lot like the Pittsburgh Steelers who have been using primarily only 2 DL with their hands in the dirt and 2 OLB’s to set the edge. The Steelers have done this for over 20 years going back to Greg Lloyd and Kevin Greene, to James Harrison and now with TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith.

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.

Is that confirmed? LCE = Memnon???

15-0

This how hot on two of my criteria-
1. Been a DC within the last 10 years
2. Wasn't drawing Medicare

Well done, Mario.

I would add not a Broyles winner.

Ferman has sources, his problem is that he likes to make a ton of stuff up to make it seem like he is more connected than he really is.

Something was definitely making its way around the local reporters this morning as Manny N didn't break it, but he did bring up the name about 4 hours ago and he never breaks anything

I am glad we are getting a younger dc with something to prove, new energy, and productive resume.

Does anyone has Marshall’s 2021 defensive stats?

44th scoring D (23.8 ppg)
80th Yards Per Game

Breadcrumbs were there he liked this a few days ago:

I mean...I guess...

Although it would appear that he DID coach here:

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

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.

If he didn't know he was done, he for sure knows Steele is a mercenary, always has been and would leave at the first SEC opportunity that came his way.

Lake Charles where citizen from and maybe Houston area since it’s close to lake Charles

Gotta be some Louisiana in roads he can tap into.

Who is this dude? Where the **** is don brown

 

[kccanefan]

As long as he can teach our guys to take the correct angles and actually tackle then I'm good with the hire.

 

[Nomadiccane]

Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t. More with less, I like this!

Marshall had a (statistically) good defense before he arrived (2020). I’ll remain cautiously optimistic

Note: I have never seen a Marshall or Mcneese State game in my life

 

[JD4]

I'm excited as fck about this hire.

Let's Fcking Go Canes!
