This article from two years ago indicates that he wanted to wait for his son (in the 8th grade at the time) to graduate from high school before moving on to the next level. That was two years ago, however.

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...
This would be a homerun hire

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
It appears that you may get your wish.
You just made my day/night/week
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.

Me likey.
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.
beat me by a minute:thumb:
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
