UH hopes defense will be improved
The Chronicle's Michael Murphy sounds fired up about UH's new defensive coordinator:
With 10 returning starters from last year's unit, Weddell hasn't found it necessary to raise his voice that much.
He spends his time raising the players' IQs when it comes to his bring-it-fast approach to defense and bring-it-straight approach to life off the field.
"We're really excited because of his style of coaching," said senior linebacker Wade Koehl. "He's implementing core values for our defense right now, and by that I mean he's making sure we're good people.
"Once we are who we need to be off the field, we'll be able to be who we need to be on the field. That's great stuff."
Great stuff is what is expected of Weddell, the former La Marque coach who led that team to three straight state championships (1995-97) and five straight appearances in the state title game.

When Briles announced Weddell was replacing Ron Harris as defensive coordinator, it was almost as if a new age dawned on Cullen Boulevard.
It will be nice when the season actually starts, and some of the filler we are seeing in football coverage at the moment is replaced with actual news.
As for UH -- it remains to be seen whether the collection of high school coaches is going to get it done at the I-A level, but the schedule is favorable, and year four is enough time to expect some results.
