re: Did anyone listen to Verge on OTB regarding defensive hires?

After taking a look at the coaching staffs of all the playoff teams, a few names jumped out at me as possible candidates.

Chris Kiffin- Cleveland Browns DL coach and brother of Lane Kiffin. Was a defensive line assistant at USC under Orgeron, DC at FAU under Lane, and pass rush specialist coach for the San Francisco 49ers last year that went to the Super Bowl. Also had stops as a DL coach at Ole Miss under Hugh Freeze, Arkansas State DL coach, Defensive quality control at Nebraska, and intern for John Gruden at Tampa Bay

Karl Dunbar- Pittsburgh Steelers DL coach and former DL coach at LSU. Also coached at Alabama under Saban on their 2017 championship squad

Sam Mills III- Washington FB DL coach. Son of Saints great and leader of the Dome Patrol, Sam Mills. Followed Ron Rivera to Washington after having a role as a defensive assistant in Carolina since 2005.



This is merely speculation on my part that was based on NFL playoff team staffs with assistant coaches that seem to have good enough resumes to warrant a look, connections to LSU, and connections to Ed Orgeron through previous staffs he has worked on.
