3rd times the charm!

Lol I think both hires being men in the twilight of their careers tell you the temp of the program.

Noticed that. Other than Dez, pretty much fits right in.

we needed more experienced coaches in both of those positions. take it for what its worth. Norrid was very experienced and his assistant Ross not so much. Ross stays on as assistant OL coach. same is true for LB coach.

Is being a former ULM staff member becoming a prerequisite for a job here?

Probably Matt Viator connections.

Ron Roberts would disagree. UL was his slingshot to big bucks

No doubt…but we also downgraded at both positions. It can be argued Farmer is a lateral hire but these aren’t big wins.

I guess the Duke fan base is saying the same thing about hiring Norrid from a G5. Hiring from P5 Syracuse doesn't seem lateral to me. I like both hires. We needed experienced upgrades on X&Os. We got that in both.

He wasn’t hired from Syracuse. He was unemployed.

Ron Roberts was a HC that left to be a coordinator a little different.
