Joe Tresey New Defensive Coordinator

(1/3) > >>

ysufan0505:
Football Scoop.com is reporting that Joe Tresey is the new defensive coordinator here at YSU. Previous stints as defensive coordinator were Cincinnati, South Florida, and then UCLA last year. He is a very aggressive, attack style coordinator. Should be interesting to see how this works out. Thoughts?

guinpen:
I do not know anything about him, why is he no longer at those three schools?

ysufan0505:
He is from Warren so a local guy. He was the head coach at Middletown and New Philidelphia High School's before moving up to the college ranks. UCLA's defense was pretty bad last year but he had a very good defense when he was at Cincinnati and South Florida. At USF in 2009 as defensive coordinator, their defense was ranked 24th in the nation in total defense and in 2008 at Cincinnati, they were ranked 31st in total defense so he can definitely coach

Best question of the day. All I can say is ...watch your roster from spring to fall, then fall to spring.

He appears to be quite the football gypsy, and it probably would have been a bad thing if Wolford had hired him in 2010 when he was building the foundation.  But now, two years later, we have the best offense in FCS football and it is returning intact.  Now is the time for a "quick fix" on defense.  If Tresey can lift the defense to just average status in 2012 and 2013, that would give our offense the chance to overwhelm our opponents.  Where he coaches in 2014 is of little concern. 

I also like the fact that Tresey has coached in the midwest, south, and west.  He should be familiar with multiple styles and should be able to develop a scheme that works best for our talent.  Just because he ran an attacking defense elsewhere does not guarantee that he will do the same here.
