Here was the quick fact sheet on Edwards:

quote:

George Edwards (LBer coach of the Miami Dolphins) Was the Washington Redskins assistant DC in 2002 and sole DC in 2003 before becoming LBer coach for the cleveland browns and miami dolphins. Was previously a LBer coach for the Redskins and the Cowboys. Was DL coach for UGA in 1997. Has turned down the opportunity to be UGA and UF's DC. Has worked with some big names like Dave Campo, Marvin Lewis, Romeo Crennel, Chan Gailey and Jim Bates.


btw, I doubt he would have been given an NFL DC job if he didn't know what he was doing at DC and it's got to be hard to be named DC when the guys in front of you are Campo, Marvin Lewis, Romeo Crennel, Chan Gailey and Jim Bates. That's like saying why didn't Tony Sparano take over as coach in Dallas? Oh yeah, because Bill Parcels was the coach.



If we were looking at NFL position coaches, what happened to Greg Mattison?

quote:

Greg Mattison (LBer Coach with the Ravens) Former co-defensive coordinator at UF left to coach LBers for the Baltimore Ravens. Has coached at Navy & aTm and has been a DC at Michigan, UF and Notre Dame.

when he left UF I think he said he wanted to get the NFL pension. you never know though, he may miss the college game.

Thanks


As for Edwards, it's better than what we had and I every great coach got their break somewhere. Not saying he will be great, but he's got a ton of experience from the best around so I'm on board the George Edwards train.
