Wow, nice find. Not sure how you stumbled on that, impressive!

Certainly not the texas ties some of us had discussed the staff likely wanting to pursue, but I will happily accept a foot in the door at IMG.

The question becomes, though, what happens to Paul Williams? Abraham would certainly coach CBs, Williams' experience is in Florida (coached at Miami) meaning a recruiting area overlap, so would this mean Williams is heading out as well? Seems odd to have two CB coaches with heavy recruiting ties in Florida. You could of course put Williams with the safeties and Abraham with corners and just send someone else to Texas, etc.

It's likely I'm reading into this too much, but just a thought.

Hardy over LBs until the 10th assistant is approved? A corner coach and safety coach does make sense for the scheme to me, especially with our consistently high use of a nickel back.

You can find a lot of information through tax records and transactions, not to mention credit info, etc. etc. Some people have a lot of access to that type of information...

Assume we will know tomorrow or tuesday the identity of the new defensive coach. Personally hoping for the IMG guy. Seems like he has potential to be a great recruiter

I'm just interested to see what role/position group each coach runs after the hire, regardless who it is, as well as 'crootin areas.

If I had to guess I'd say Abraham and Williams split corners and safeties and hardy takes linebackers.

If it's Abraham, I wonder if they will do a Williams coaches safeties, Abraham corners type deal.

It will almost surely be Abraham coaching corners and Williams coaching Safeties.

This also could be a gamechanger in the Houston Griffith recruitment. Need to make up some ground on ND & OSU.

Yeah, think I'd mentioned that earlier in this thread. Definitely the most likely scenario. I'm more interested in the recruiting areas for aforementioned reasons, namely that Williams and Abraham are overlapping a LOT
