Excellent news. Glad to have CBB back. Well done to Kelly and Woodward on landing this one.

Says a lot about Kelly by putting aside his pride and ego and hiring back someone that most likely should’ve stayed on staff.

This is an odd statement. Autonomy was not the problem for House.

Wilson is saying 3 years at 2.5 a year. Highest paid assistant.

I'm sure that the position coaches will come a little more deliberately but is there any more smoke of Peoples coming along?

Kelly didn’t fire him. He offered Blake the LB spot and he took the DC spot at Mizzou. No bad blood between them

Making him the highest paid person at his position should heal old wounds.

Yeah, he left for a promotion. Not sure why people had to create a false narrative. It was a pretty typical career progression, really.

That’s not accurate. He was initially hired as the safeties coach at Mizzou and was promoted to DC soon after when Steve Wilks left to go to Carolina.
