Looks good on paper.

eta: I posted this about a week ago that it sounded like he might be going to Texas, but it looks like it was bad info

Great coach. Doubt he goes to Texas as a DL coach.

Great DLine coach, Ed Orgeron protege.

Great hire if true. Very good DLine coach. Not sure how well he would recruit.

He’s a great coach. We wanted him as our DC and we got Daronte Jones instead because Sean Payton hates us. Home run in terms of player development on the DL.

Would surprise me if he took a college DL job. Seems like he could hang around the league as a DC. The Falcons defense was decent.

It’s possible but he is being interviewed for NFL DC positions. Why would he go to Texas as a DL coach? Seems like a downgrade for sure in every way.
But again great hire if so.

Sometimes an extra title, responsibility, and pay sweetens the deal, but Texas already has given out the titles of AHC, Co-DC, etc.

Looks like it would be solely as DL coach.

Thats what I remember about him. Orgeron gave him an offer to be our DC but Payton wouldn’t let him go. Then Payton takes our DL coach 3 years later

He was a beast at NC State. But Marcus Davenport and Payton Turner also happened under him.

You’re blaming the DL coach that Davenport and Turner are made of glass?

Great hire if it comes to fruition. I was hoping we would target him after it seemed like y’all were gonna keep Bo.
