BYU fans are upset about their defensive coaching staff and are looking around for a new DC, and they've zeroed in on a couple of names. One of them is Derrick Odum, and I just wanted to praise the job he's doing as a Ute player and former Ute coach. He's currently the AHC and DC at SJSU, and he's been in that job for 6 years. His defense is currently ranked as follows:
4th in scoring defense (14.5 ppg)
8th in red zone defense (.688 scores per opponent RZ appearance)
9th in passing defense (169.3 ypg)
13th in total defense (295.2 ypg)
28th in pass efficiency defense (119.45)
43rd in rushing defense (125.8 ypg)
44th in 3rd down defense (.351)
11 turnovers in 6 games
He's also got a handful of great players per PFF, including the following
DE Viliami Fehoko (82.5 on 264 snaps)
DE Cade Hall (75.2 on 269 snaps)
CB Nehemiah Shelton (74.7 on 341 snaps)
CB Kenyon Reed (70.0 on 354 snaps)
