Lamar is taking over as Michigan DB coach.
Interesting. A few people on here will be very happy.
Is he the one that is still wearing a mask?
No thats me.Quote:

Vanderbilt, Louisiana, Michigan. Looks good on paper.
Wasn't a fan of his style of defense. This will complete a pretty big defensive staff overhaul. Des still didn't address what I think our biggest concern is with the strength and conditioning staff. We have regressed a ton under Neighbors.
3rd and lamar baby!! 3RD AND F’N LAMAR!!Quote:

yes, bc national champion blue blood programs normally hire bad coaches, good grief. He was highly recommended by the DC who is leaving that program for the NFL.
He's a good DB coach, not sure coordinator was best for himQuote:

Thanks for being a Ragin' Cajun x2.
Wonder what we do at D Coord now.
I remember when Brent Pry was the scapegoat under Bustle. Then he became a favorite of many of us to replace Hud.Quote:

So continues a really interesting trend of coaches from G5 schools taking lower position jobs at P4 schools. They realize the operating model is changing. The gap between P4 and G5 is going to get bigger. So you kind of have to get in the P4 club at closer to entry level then work your way up there. That's different than the CBN model.
And that DB role will pay a lot more than our DC does.Quote:

Yes, it is interesting, and not a good sign for any school not in the top money making club. Even some of those in P4 are going to get left behind, head coaches of average P5's (UCLA) are taking lower level position jobs at top P5's. It's definitely changing the world of college football.Quote:

I hope he does! I wish him the best; even if he had done great things here, he is probably getting a nice raise.Quote:
