Eric Sanders / Jaylen Jenkins

Ah man I hope not. Those defenses were terrible.

I'm not like defending it but its the last time our defense was good. It was still only mid for the FCS though.

I would love for Best to bring in a up and coming DC from like D2 or an assistant from a FCS program with a solid defense and retool Eastern's defense but he has too much of an ego to hire a DC and let them do their thing without micromanaging.

Who ran the 4-2-5, was it Schmedding?

Zach Bruce is our new defensive coordinator. I can guarantee you this was a cost saving money hire as the EWU is struggling financially. With that being said I don't think it will much as a drop off defensively.While we did improve slightly , We can only go upward defensively as EWU was not that good last year. Zach Bruce is young and hungry and a former EWU alumni, i wish he had more experience but he appears to be smart and driven.

I do think Montana will regret hiring Eric Sanders. There are many more qualified DC with proven better results. He might have more talent as his disposal but Bobby Hauck was always assisting the Montana defense. He's now gone on to Illinois as the defensive coordinator.
