Tenuta has spent 16 years as a defensive coordinator at seven schools. He won't coordinate N.C. State's defense. Mike Archer still handles those duties, but he said Tenuta will help bring a new dimension to N.C. State in terms of pressuring the quarterback.
O'Brien said the addition of Tenuta won't change much in the structure of the defense, but could change its tenor and coaching points. He said Tenuta might make N.C. State a better blitz team.

We definitely need
more effective blitzes. We actually blitzed a lot last year but they were either so telegraphed or vanilla that they failed to work. It did not help that the DBs would be 10-15 yards off the receivers so the QB had no trouble finding his quick read wide open if a blitzer did happen to break through.
I'm more concerned
about changing the soft coverage than the blitz schemes. Hopefully our defense, as a whole, takes on a more aggressive style. This bend don’t break crap is for the birds.
Hopefully by "changing the tenor"...
… he means they’re going to be taught that it’s OK to make a play on the ball… and OK to actually hit someone. Fell dramatically short on both counts last year.
