Bullough had a number of years of experience as a linebackers coach and at the highest levels of the NFL, but only two as a defensive coordinator at any level. UCLA from 2009-10.

Ward has not had the high level (NFL) experience that Bullough had, but he's been a defensive coordinator at the NAIA, JUCO, Division III, Division II, Division I FCS and Division I FBS levels. He was a head coach before. He actually has more coordinator experience at the Division I level than Bullough had when he took over at Syracuse and just one less at the FBS level.

In my opinion, it's easy to say because Bullough has the NFL experience he has a better resume. But in this day and age, I personally would rather have someone that has been the "guy" and has more experience being the ultimate decision guy over high level training - because we have seen numerous times, especially at Syracuse, that NFL doesn't necessarily equate to success at the collegiate level.
