Obviously either one is more experienced that Hutzler when we hired him, but there's a definite experience gap from Candidate A to Candidate B.
That's true but I think we need to be careful that we don't overcompensate Lebby's head coaching decision making if we can get a really good DC. Guys with Armstrong's background have done well at MSU before at DC.

And I was impressed that his defense at Houston gave up 30 or more points twice all year.
