The guys can break a defense down and find mismatches better than anyone.
They said they actually benefitted defensively from his hyper focus on offense because the defense would by default learn more about things like an O-lineman's responsibilities and that would turn into finding ways to attack. It's not that he didn't let the defense practice, but he also effectively used them as a scout team.
DJ and Javontee Herndon are absolutely thrilled with the hire.

I have heard stories when Petrino was here that he made defensive adjustments at the half but not Willy Robinson.
