I think it’ll work out well for them. I didn’t feel he was as bad here as some made him out to be. Bowen showed me what bad really was.

Bowen, sure. Bennett carried the torch well himself.

Good for him. I wish him much success.

Truthfully, he guided the only defense of the Seth Littrell era that put up remotely respectful numbers. That same defense forced 18 turnovers in 2018 and had 6 guys who at least were given a chance at the NFL by different teams although Kemon Hall and Nate Brooks were the only ones to ever do much at that level.

Well stated. He certainly was much better than Phil Bennett which was certainly one of the worst defenses we have ever witnessed in our history. I never understood the love and adoration for Bennett. Yes, he could tell a good story. But he also riddled us with nepotistic hires and the guy lived in college station and didn't even recruit? Good riddance.

He was a good coach here. That defense caused turnovers and had a good pass rush. It seems they struggled against big time offenses FAU, Troy, Utah St, etc...

Glad he's getting another chance, and I hope he does well at New Mexico.

Our defense improved by like 60-70 units of rankings from 2020 to 2021, but took a major step back. I don’t think you can put the blame all on PB…
