Wow, with all of the gloom and doom I have read on here lately I was worried that no one would come. Looks like we might have a coaching staff after all.

Here's what I know without digging around too much.

Greg Roberts - Louisiana (Saban Coaching Tree)
Doug Belk - Houston (Started as GA under Saban)
Jessie Minter- Vanderbilt ( Baltimore Ravens CB Coach)
Mark D'Onofrio- Houston (Miami U DC 2011-2015)

As far as trees: He also played for DC Brent Pry in college who is the current VT head coach and recent Penn state DC

Yes, I didn't go that far back. But there are plenty of quality influences along his career path.

Is Wes Neighbors staying on board?

Is Wes Neighbors staying on board?

Not sure. Wouldn’t be surprised if Mike decides to use the co-defensive coordinator model. But Wes will have opportunities if he decides to look elsewhere. I hope we keep him.

It’s been said here before that his is an excellent recruiter. Back when he was with Napier he did a fine job on the road.
