A List of Good Defensive Coordinators (for no reason at all)

Related Topics: Lance Guidry, Missouri

It’s fun to watch people do something that they are really good at. It’s even better when they represent you in some capacity.

Here’s a list of guys who have a history of leading, managing, coordinating, and implementing excellent defenses as part of their job. Why? I dunno. Just because.

Doug Belk

Current Team: Houston Cougars

Current Title: Defensive Coordinator

Salary: $1.1 million (2-year contract)

How is he good?: Houston is currently the 38th best defense in SP+ which is quite a bit better than Missouri but the real interest here is the run defense stats - 6th against the run, 8th against the pass, 3rd in efficiency, 3rd in 3-and-outs, 19th in limiting explosive plays.
