In 2015 Central Florida was ranked around 120th in defense. The next year they brought it up to around 30th. They did it by bringing in a linebacker coach from Oregon to head up the new defense. It's all about the right hire. It would be nice, but we don't have to be the 30th best defense. This is the Mountain West for crying out loud. If we we're the 60th best defense we could probably be third in our league and go to a bowl. I would consider that an over the top fantastic result.
Let's get a motivated, defensive mind in here who can get the job done. If Sanchez was worth a damn he would already have an eyeball on somebody to come in and do it. He's got the offense close to where he needs it. Unfortunately, part of being a head coach is being able to identify coaches who can help you in areas where you aren't an expert. In my opinion, this is where Sanchez shows his lack of college head coaching experience. I don't think he has the connections he needs to find some hungry, top-flight mid-tier defensive coach who could come here and turn things around. Let's hope I'm wrong on this.
