Would be silly for us to not even look at Todd Orlando.
Hopson as a position coach, not DC
Just hired at Houston -- but I agree. Would be a really good hire. Nominate Nate Woody and Marcell Yates as well along with all the other names being thrown out there.Quote:

In other news, if we ever want to wonder why teams like Bama do better than us on the field, let's not just look at recruiting. Mel Tucker is Bama's DB coach. Freaking 10 years of NFL coaching experience, along with a 5 game stint as an interim HC for the Jaguars. We don't have that kind of person on our staff anywhere. Sure would be nice to have a few of those guys on our staff. Might even the playing field just a little bit.
I hope we look at Nate Woody too. He's turned the Appalachian St defense completely around.Quote:

If your going to pay your head guy 4M+, you have to pay assistants to get some good ones here..
Would be a killer hire, but I think he's going to UGA.Quote:
