Cougars turn to former Cowboys DC Brian Stewart to remake defense
Former Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Brian Stewart was named to the same position for the Houston Cougars on Monday.
Stewart, who led the Cowboys defense for 2007-2009, replaces John Skladany, who couldn’t give much help to the nation’s No. 1 offense and was ultimately let go.
With Case Keenum returning for his senior season, the offense should again be one of college football’s best. If Stewart can extract even mildly-competent play from his unit, the Cougars will be a legitimate threat to crash the BCS party in 2010. As great as the offense is, it’s the defense that will determine how far this team can go.
