Carlton Buckels as CB coach candidate

LSU TigersWire brought him up and this from TCU site:
Carlton Buckels joined the TCU staff in January 2022 as cornerbacks coach. In his first season with the Horned Frogs, Buckels coached Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson into becoming the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award winner as the nation's top defensive back and a Los Angeles Rams draft pick. Josh Newton joined Hodges-Tomlinson in giving TCU a pair of First-Team All-Big 12 cornerbacks.
Buckels spent the previous four seasons (2018-21) at Tulsa, where he worked with TCU Defensive Coordinator Joe Gillespie. After serving his first three years as safeties coach, he was promoted to defensive passing game coordinator and moved to cornerbacks for the 2021 campaign. Tulsa’s 2020 defense ranked second in the American Athletic Conference for total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense, pass defense and pass defense efficiency. The Hurricane were in the top-20 nationally for fewest passing yards, pass defense efficiency and total defense. In 2018, Buckels’ first year with the Hurricane, Tulsa led the AAC and ranked eighth nationally in pass defense (174.6 yards per game).
Buckels came to Tulsa following one season as the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Belhaven University in Jackson, Miss. Buckels’ collegiate coaching stops have included Delta State (2001-02), Southeastern Louisiana (2003-04), New Mexico State (2005-07), North Texas (2009-10) and Baylor (2011-16). In the summer of 2010, Buckels worked with the NFL’s Oakland Raiders coaching staff as part of the Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowship Program.
A native of Louisiana, Buckels played collegiately at LSU and coached high school football in the state. Buckels received his start in collegiate coaching at his alma mater, LSU, where he served as a graduate assistant under Nick Saban and Gerry Dinardo. He worked with the defense and special teams while earning his master’s degree in 2001. Before beginning his collegiate coaching career, Buckels was a defensive assistant at Hammonds (La.) High School from 1996-99, helping the Tornados to the Class 4A state semifinals in 1996 and 1997.
Buckels was a two-time all-state defensive back at Amite (La.) High School before going to LSU. A four-year letterman (1989-92), Buckels served as Team Captain and earned Special Teams Most Valuable Player honors in 1991. He totaled six career interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. After LSU, Buckels played professionally with the CFL’s Baltimore Stallions and the semi-pro Louisiana Bayou Thunder.
TigersWire said "he would be a home run hire." I agree!

Pretty refreshing to hear a new name being tossed out there. This one seems to be a nice find.

I worked with his now ex- wife when he was on Hal Mumme's staff at SLU about 20 years ago. During lunch one day she told me Mumme had just accepted the job at New Mexico State and the whole staff was boarding a plane in an hour to head to the new school. That was the first she heard about it. She didn't follow him out west. Looks like Carlton has made some nice career moves since then and may be in position to land a bigger job some place whether at LSU or elsewhere. Good for him.

I mentioned him a couple years ago before Kelly hired Steeples. He’s done a solid job everywhere. He was always my standby guy during the Raymond years. Played here and GA’d under both DiNardo and Saban.

Great research actually.
I’m 1000% buying the theory that DC is the first domino to fall & they’re going to use “you will have major say in hiring position coaches” as leverage.
I’ll be surprised if this is not the case, it’s very common with mass firings.
