Along with the hire of Campbell is the return to coaching for Steve Hale as TCA’ s new defensive coordinator.
Running a 3-4 defense in the past, the staff is switching to a 4-3 scheme and will hang their hat on the defensive line.
Pressuring and attacking the quarterback through blitzes is the emphasis from Campbell; meanwhile, in the secondary, Gullatt is confident in the unit’ s ability to let the ball go outside and make plays.
